Grid Properties
Defines the general drawing and modeling properties such as the grid and origin. You can define the properties in a dialog box with multiple tabs.
Tab: Grid
- Type
- Sets the grid type as rectangular, circular or no grid (default). When you select the rectangular grid, set the horizontal and vertical spacing. When you select the circular grid, set the angle in addition to these.
You can snap the cursor to points on the grid by pressing the angle brackets keys (<>) on the keyboard. The cursor will snap in the direction of the grid. If you have selected the automatic point snapping to be in use, the cursor automatically snaps to grid points as well, if the setting Snap to grid points has been enabled. See Usage Settings.
- Origin
- Sets the origin of the grid. The default value is the origin of the coordinate system, defined by the program.
- Select Location
- Sets the location of the grid. Click Select Location to click a new origin for the grid, and one direction point, which defines the direction for the X axis.
Note:
- You can change the grid's color with the keyword syscolor(5) in the SYSCOLORS keyword group. Set the running number of a pen color as the keyword value.
