Tracker enables you to view and specify the values that determine the position of an object within the global coordinate system.


    **To precisely position an object:**


1. On the **System** tab, click the object and then in the **Properties** pane, click **Show Advanced**.
2. In the view pane, drag or rotate the object's axes and observe the change in the values in the **Global Position** fields (the location of the object within the global coordinate system in millimeters) and **Global Rotation** fields (the orientation of the object within the global coordinate system in degrees).
3. If required, change the **Global Position** and **Global Rotation** values.
  The position of the object changes in the view pane.
  :check_mark: **Tip**: To set the current position of the object to the global position of 0, 0, 0 (that is, the origin), click the arrow to the right of the **Global Position** fields and select **Set to Default**.
