To Show a Model Grid in a Drawing
When in a drawing, you can use commands in the DWG MDL GRID menu to show and erase the model grid. To show it, you must orient the views so that one axis of the coordinate system is normal to the screen and one axis is parallel to a drawing sheet border.
1. Open a drawing.
2. Click Layout tab and then click the arrow next to Display group.
3. Click Model Grid. The Model Grids dialog box opens.
4. Specify the display using the Grids and Settings tabs.
 
* If you add a view to a sheet that has a sheet grid, the view’s model has a defined grid origin, and the view is in planar orientation to this grid, the view origin is moved to the grid origin and snaps that point to the grid point of the sheet.
