When checked, the location of the material yield strength on the plot
legend for studies with parts is marked with a red arrow. The yield strength
value is displayed at the bottom of the plot legend.
Display
local coordinate system reference triad.
When checked, the local coordinate system reference triad is displayed
at the lower right corner of the graphics area. The triad is displayed

system.
Color
chart background color. Sets the background
