X,Y,Z   defines the deltas in the $x$, $y$, and $z$ directions, in the current units of length.

Domain Extents   displays the Cartesian coordinate extremes of the nodes in the mesh. (These values are not editable; they are purely informational.)
Xmin, Ymin, Zmin   shows the minimum values of Cartesian coordinates in the mesh.

Xmax, Ymax, Zmax   shows the maximum values of Cartesian coordinates in the mesh.

Translate   adds the specified translation offsets to the appropriate Cartesian coordinate of every node in the mesh.
