Preset Grid Options

Windows

Choose whether the grid spacing changes in All windows or only the Current window.

Grid Spacing

The distance, in the current linear units, between grid lines.

Subdivisions

The number of subdivisions between grid lines. The subdivision lines are lighter than the normal grid lines, but you can still snap to them using grid snapping.

For example, if you set the grid spacing to 1.0, and the number of subdivisions to 4, Alias shows grid subdivisions at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.25, and so on.

Perspective Grid Extent

The size of the grid in the perspective window, in current linear units. Type a value from 1 to 1000000.

Corner Perspective Gnomon

Show the gnomon in the corner of the perspective window. The gnomon is the small indicator which floats in the corner of view windows. It has colored arrows to show the orientation of the axes and a grey arrow pointing to the origin.

Labels

Label the grid and subdivision lines with their unit values.

The labels only appear in the orthographic windows.

Label Font Properties

This option only appears if Labels is on. The Default setting gives you a font size of 10. Custom lets you select a Label Font Size between 8 and 72.
