Just wondering if anybody knows how to restore the XC,YC, and ZC for my Csys and Triad?

What version of NX?
And what exactly do you mean by "restore" them? Have they changed appearance or disappeared altogether?

For recent versions of NX:
You can turn the WCS on and off by going to: Format -> WCS -> Display ([kbd]W[/kbd] is the default hotkey).
You can turn the triad on and off by going to: Preferences -> Visualization -> View/Screen -> Part Settings -> show view triad.

I'm on NX8.5, both the CSYS and Triad are on and the blue, green, and red arrows are visible, but there aren't any call-out to tell you what vector you are in.
 
Try going to...

Preferences -> Visualization -> Color/Font

...and in the section titled 'Session Settings', make sure that the 'Font' option is set to something appropriate, like 'Arial' or 'Arial Unicode MS'.
