Grid Properties
Defines the general drawing and modeling properties such as the grid and origin. You can set the grid in a model sketcher or a 2D drawing.
Tab: Grid
- Type
- Sets the grid type as: Rectangular, Circular or Off (no grid).
- Circular grid: spacing in the direction of the radius 20 mm (L), angle spacing 45 degrees (a1).
- Circular grid: spacing in the direction of the radius 20 mm, angle spacing 45 degrees (a1), angle 10 degrees (a2).
- 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 and the new origin of the sketching coordinate system. For example, you can set the grid to be parallel to a line on the sketching face when redefining the origin. 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.
- You can adjust the color of the grid.
Define the keyword in the setup file user/Setup.
A direct color setting sets the color from the Vertex color table.
Keyword set.vertex.gridcolor = <color number>
If direct color setting is not in use, you can select a grayscale color. These run from almost black (-15) to almost white (7).
Keyword set.vertex.griddimmer = <-15 ... 7>
