# Axes
The Axes dialog is accessible from the “Diagram Settings”, “Contour Settings” and “Wizard: Output Settings” dialogs: various Sculpt dialog boxes, and the axis button on the “Data Options” toolbar.
This allows the user to choose the appropriate axis system from:
- Global
 - X-elevation
 - Y-elevation
 - Local
 - User – the user can then select a user defined axis from the list.
 - Default for data
 
Not all of the axis options may be enabled depending on the context.
