LinceCAD GRID — GRID
Displays the grid.
- Command:
GRID· Global name:_GRID· Shortcut: F7
Shows or hides the grid of the drawing area, a reference mesh that helps to estimate distances at a glance, and sets its spacing. Also with F7 and the GRID button on the status bar.
Usage
- Enter GRID.
Specify grid spacing(X) or [ON/OFF/Snap/Major/aDaptive/Limits/Follow/Aspect] <…>:
- Type the spacing (the grid turns on with it), choose an option or press Enter to leave it as it is.
Options
- ON / OFF: turns the grid on or off.
- Snap (S): the grid follows the snap spacing (SNAP).
- Major (M): how many lines between major lines.
Specify major line every (1-100):
- aDaptive (D): whether the grid adapts to the zoom.
Turn adaptive behavior on [Yes/No] <Yes>:
- Limits (L): whether it is drawn beyond the drawing limits (LIMITS).
Display grid beyond Limits [Yes/No] <Yes>:
- Follow (F): whether it follows the dynamic UCS.
Follow Dynamic UCS [Yes/No] <No>:
- Aspect (A): different spacings in X and Y.
Specify horizontal spacing(X):
Notes
- With no spacing set, the grid is drawn every power of 10 (1, 10, 100...) depending on the zoom, so that lines are at least about 25 pixels apart.
- The spacing, major lines and settings are saved in the drawing (GRIDUNIT, GRIDMAJOR and GRIDDISPLAY); LinceCAD still draws every line alike, in plan, without telling the major ones apart.
