Advanced Grid Options

.
Advanced controls for the frequency and locations of grid lines. See Grid.

Fre quency: Enables you to alternate visible grid lines with invisible grid lines. For example, if you set the frequency to 4, every fourth grid line will be displayed. You will still be able to snap to invisible grid lines.
Min or: Controls for the intermittent (lighter by default) grid lines.
None: No minor grid lines will be displayed.
Divisions: Establishes the number of minor grid lines by setting the number of divisions between each major grid point.
Offset: Creates minor grid points at a fixed distance from each major grid point. Negative values can be used.
Origin: Enables you to use a "local" grid. By default, the grid origin is located at the origin of the coordinate system, at (0,0). You can reset the origin point of the grid and change the base angle, aligning the grid to a non-orthogonal object. For example, you can orient the grid of a house to its lot.

Note: Set Grid Origin is also accessible from the Grid toolbar.

Perspe ctive grid: Relevant when the grid is displayed and you are working in Perspective mode.
By Drawing: An infinite grid will be displayed.
By Size: The size of the displayed grid is determined by Perspective grid extents. This value sets the grid extents in both directions from the WCS origin, i.e. a value of 3 inches will produce a 6 x 6 grid.
