'GRID Command

Displays a dot grid

Status bar: Double-click Grid
Command line: grid

Grid spacing (X) or ON / OFF / Snap / Aspect <current>: Specify a value or enter an option

The grid is used only for visual reference. It is not plotted, nor is it considered to be part of the drawing.


Grid Spacing

Sets the grid to the specified value. Specifying a value by entering x sets the grid spacing to the specified value multiplied by the snap interval.

ON

Turns on the grid using the current spacing.

OFF

Turns the grid off.

Snap

Sets the grid spacing to the snap interval specified by the SNAP command.

Aspect

Changes the grid to a different spacing in the X and Y directions.

Horizontal Spacing(X) <current>: Enter a value or press ENTER
Vertical Spacing(X) <current>: Enter a value or press ENTER

Entering x following either value defines it as a multiple of the snap interval rather than the drawing units.

The Aspect option is not available when the current snap style is isometric.
