Syntax


   --(SET_WP_GRID_MODE)--|wp|------+--(:OFF)---+---->
                                   |           |
                                   +--(:DOTS)--+
                                   |           |

Options

The following options are available to display the workplane grid mode.

:OFF - no grid will be displayed.
:DOTS - a grid of dots will be displayed.
:LINE- a grid of lines will be displayed.

When to use

Use this action to change the type of grid displayed on existing workplanes, for the current work session only.

Using this option has no effect on the default grid mode. When the system is restarted, the default grid mode you have set up will be displayed.

The grid will only be displayed, and caught to, when the grid points or lines are not too close together, in terms of pixels. This means that there will be occasions where you expect to see the grid, but will not. For example:

If too small a grid spacing is specified.
If you display the grid, and then zoom away from the workplane, causing the pixel grid spacing to become too small.
If you display the grid, and then rotate the view or the workplane causing the pixel grid spacing to become too small.

Example

The following parameter sequence displays a line grid for a workplane named "/workp".

All workplane names must be entered enclosed by double quotes (" ").
