While you are drawing, you can use the zoom feature to zoom in on an
area that requires more attention. Zoom out if the drawing is larger than
your monitor.
Drawing Grid
The grid is a system of vertical and horizontal lines spaced at regular
intervals on the drawing area. Dots are placed at the intersection of the grid
lines. The grid helps you align drawing objects.
When you move an object to a location on the drawing area, the corners or
edges of the object are aligned with the closest grid intersection. This is
called snap-to-grid or grid snap. When you turn off grid snap, you can
move an object to any location within the drawing area.
You determine the interval at which you want the grid lines to be spaced
by setting the grid size.
Set Grid Size and Grid Snap
To set the grid size and the grid snap:
1. In Build mode, open a display.
2. On the Arrange menu, click Grid Size. The Grid Size dialog box
appears.
3. Under Lines per Screen Unit, type or select the number of grid lines
per unit of drawing space.
The size of a unit as displayed on your monitor varies according to the
monitor's resolution and driver software.
4. Select Snap to Grid. Once grid snap is on, any symbols you draw are
automatically aligned to the grid.
The Snap to Grid command also appears on the Arrange menu.
