Axis doesn't match object import dialogue box
Guys, for years I have been confused of the position of an object I bring in through the dialogue box.
Let me explain
When you open VariCAD the Axis is down in the left hand corner of the screen (3D View)
You have a RED X, Blue Y, and Green Z
There are also colored lines to visually define the axis, the Blue Y is up, the Red X is to the right, and the Green Z is towards you.

Now when you bring in an object in this case as an example a box in the dialogue box that pops up it has the Height (Z), the Width (X), and the Length (Y). I may be missing something but these don't match the axis on the screen.
Hence my confusion.
Is there a way to reset this so both lots of Axis match the screen?

Hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance
Axes
I'd be curious to see the two sets of axes match orientation myself (box dialogue window and WCS) .

Now when translating objects, in the 3D location dialogue window I normally hit the button, "All axes according to world coordinates." Then the object axis matches the WCS at the lower left of the screen - no confusion for me.
