Syntax

Options

The following options are available to set your grid size.

:WIDTH - distance between lines or dots in X direction.
:HEIGHT - distance between lines or dots in Y direction.

When to use

Use this action to change the grid spacing of existing workplanes.

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 changes the grid spacing of a workplane named /workp. The horizontal distance between lines/dots is set to 100 and the vertical distance between lines/dots is set to 50.

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