The standard UCS icon looks pretty
bland when it's style is set to the typical 2D configuration. If the
3D orbit command is issued the icon really looks good! Multiple colors
and a 3D look. The properties for the UCS icon can be manipulated by
using the UCSICON command. Issue the command and use the Properties
option at the command line. A dialogue box will appear with different
visual options and a preview. Pick and choose as desired. This
criteria probably could have been placed in the Options dialogue box
originally to be a little more consistent with the standard AutoCAD
interface. Oh well, can't have everything our way.
