Origin

The model origin appears in blue and represents the (0,0,0) coordinate of the model. When a sketch is active, a sketch origin appears in red and represents the (0,0,0) coordinate of the sketch. Dimensions and relations can be added to the model origin, but not to a sketch origin.

To toggle the origin display:

Click View, Origins. When the icon next to the menu item is highlighted, origins are visible (except for origins you have hidden individually).

Search 'Origin' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
