02. The coordinates will tell you the position of the cursor. If you move the cursor on the canvas, you will notice a thin line on both ruler showing the coordinates.

If you open the info panel you will see the coordinate position under the 'Track cursor coordinates'

03. Even though the ruler extends beyond the canvas, the 'Track cursor coordinates' value displays only if your mouse cursor is inside the canvas.

04. You can move the Starting position (0) to anywhere in the ruler.

Move your cursor to the top left edge of the scale, click and drag into the canvas. you will see your cursor changes into a cross hair. Once you release the mouse, the new position takes place.
