Perspective Grid settings
You can configure the Perspective Grid settings using View > Perspective Grid. The options available include:
Show Rulers This option shows the ruler division only along the true height line. The gridline every determines the
ruler division.
Snap to Grid This option allows snapping to gridlines while bringing in perspective, moving, scaling, and drawing in
perspective.
Lock Grid This option restricts the grid movement and other grid editing using the Perspective Grid tool. Only the
visibility and the plane position can be changed.
Lock Station Point When the Lock Station Point option is selected, moving one vanishing point moves the other
vanishing point in sync with the movement. If not checked, then the movement is independent and the station point
also moves.
