About the Grid
Creo Direct 2D mode supports the Cartesian grid. The grid is for reference only and does not print with a model. The grid operations supported in Creo Direct are as follows:
Toggle the display of the grid
Enable or disable the snapping of the pointer to the grid intersections when creating 2D geometry
Set the grid behavior, spacing, and orientation
Specify the origin
You can scale the default grid for designing a new model to one model unit of the current part for a dynamic spacing of the grid. The origin of the grid can be one of the following locations:
Sketched entity endpoint and center of an arc or a circle
Sketched point and coordinate system
Datum point and coordinate system
Edge or curve vertex
When creating a sketch, you can reorient a sketch and its grid using specific references. You can also align the grid of a sketch with a reference entity.
