COORDS allows you to set either view or world coordinates.

Indicate the type of coordinate by choosing from the
following options:

VIEW - to construct a part in view coordinates, with the
display axes representing x as horizontal, y vertical, and
the z axis pointing out of the screen.

WORLD - to construct your part in world coordinates,
relative to View 1 (top view) so that the directions of x,
y, and z axes are independent of the current working view.
