      </table><br><p class="para_topic">Boxes in the graphics window are entry fields that allow you to specify exact distances and locations at the focus of your attention, the graphics area. The boxes display a label and a value related to a current action or part. Using boxes does not require much mouse movement, making them an efficient way to view and enter data. Boxes track X/Y or Length/Angle information. NX displays boxes at the cursor at a specified X,Y offset. </p>
