      Actually, I don't think it matters what sort of design professional you are. If you are merely playing around and creagting objects for your own interest, having axis on is of no interest. As soon as you need to create a complex model where you either have complex relationships or need to adhere to some sort of plans, you really need the axis. At the very least using the axis locking arrow keys is not easy if you have axis off and then you are forced to only use the shift option.

        Always model with it on, but turn it off when showing scenes or exporting for presentation. I'd lose track without it.

        By the way, I actually used to look like this about thirty-five years ago... ๐Ÿ˜Ž

            Oh cut it out Ray, you look just like this right now. Maybe 2 more gray hairs, that's it.

                Despite all: Axes allways ON when modelling.

                  Always off unless Im working on planes that have a non default axis.
                  I figure if you cant tell the top from the bottom, the front from the back, particularly as its indicated with every move or line, its time for a coffee, a nap or a quick walk in the fresh air. ๐Ÿ˜„

                      OFF OFF OFF. I find them distracting. I already know which way is up, although some here may disagree with that!

                            Yeah, and I haven't been called a "girl" for many years. Note to Kidlike sales persons out there: The tip is smaller when you call me "Ma'am"

                                    On. Never thought they would be annoying. They are good to orient your self and make sure your model is at origin.

                                    Only turn then of when I set up final scenes.

                                          It appears that if you want to use guides you MUST have axes on. Turning off axes in 7.1 turns off the guides.
