By default, a listing of nodes or keypoints always shows their global Cartesian coordinates, even if they were defined in a different coordinate system. To change the display coordinate system for such listings, use the DSYS command.

Changing the display coordinate system will also affect your graphical displays. Unless you desire a specific effect in your displays, you should usually reset the display coordinate system to C.S. 0 (the global Cartesian system) before issuing any graphics display action commands (such as NPLOT, EPLOT, etc.). (Keypoint plots (KPLOT], line plots (LPLOT], area plots (APLOT], and volume plots (VPLOT] are not affected by DSYS.)
