Where is my coordinate origin?

Hello World.

Tell me I'm blind, but I can't find a function to display the coordinate origin in my mesh?! Any ideas, how I can switch it on?

In Fluent you can go to display option and enable "Axes", but I am not sure this is what you want.
Else you can create a point: surface/point... (and display the point)

At least in version 2022R2, you can navigate to Setup>Reference Frames>global, right click and select 'display'

I don't know if it's still actual, but a way I usually orient in the model is to create a point with coordinates [0 0 0] and display it. Hope it helps!
