The working area is marked by a black frame that has on the right and below a gray

button that is within the angle of the two rulers. Also ruler's origin can be changed.
Following options are available: Set Origin to Absolute Coordinates, Move Origin, Reset

In the status line you find much information about the objects on the working area. For
example the wire frame, filling, object dimensions, -number, combination or grouping
are displayed.
