Description

This tool allows you to show and hide the grid defined in the Draft Preferences or with the Draft SelectPlane tool.

How to use

  1. Define the appearance of the grid in the Draft Preferences; go to the menu Edit → Preferences → Draft → Grid and snapping.
  2. Then right click on the toolbar space, or go to the menu View → Toolbars, and make sure the Draft Snap toolbar is visible.
  3. Press the Draft ToggleGrid button to make the grid visible.

Another way to define the grid is by setting the work plane.

  1. Press the Draft SelectPlane button.
  2. You don't have to set a new plane, you just need to change the "Grid spacing" and "Main line every" options, and the grid will update itself.
  3. Then press Esc or the Close button to abort the command but keep the new grid.
