The Coordinates Display

The coordinates display is located in the lower-right corner of the active
viewport and displays the current location of the crosshair cursor in the
drawing area.
The display of the coordinates in the active viewport can be toggled in the
Units & Guides tab (Application Preferences dialog box).
Along with the coordinates displayed in the active viewport, you can also get
the current location of the crosshair cursor in a tooltip near the cursor when
dynamic input is turned on. For more information about dynamic input, see
Use Dynamic Input (page 144).

Model Space and Layouts

There are two working environments, or spaces, in which you can work, model
space and paper space layouts.
Model space is used to create 2D drawings
Paper space is used create layouts for plotting
While you can plot from model space, layouts are more convenient for scaling
views, changing the location of views, and controlling the area and settings
used in plotting.
To switch between model space and a layout, click the drop-down near the
left side of the status bar.
