### 4.6.3. GRID mode – Drawing grid

The drawing grid is designed to match components to each other when editing a project.

When the grid is switched on, then during inserting or moving the components, they are all snapped to the grid. This facilitates placing components on the same position or arranging them evenly at grid spacing intervals.

! Switching the GRID mode on does not cause the grid to be displayed in the workspace, but snaps to the grid the components that are inserted.

The standard grid spacing is 20 cm, in absolute scale, which means that with a typical scale of 1:100, the components will be positioned in the drawing with an accuracy of 2 mm.

The GRID mode has its field in the lower right-hand corner of the screen (see section 4.2). Blue letters in that field indicate that the GRID mode is activated. Grey letters mean that the GRID mode is disabled.

¨ To enable or disable the GRID mode:

- click once on the GRID field in the lower right-hand corner of the screen,

or

- press the Alt+C keys.

Grid parameters may be changed as required.

¨ To change grid parameters:

1. Select “Options / General data” (F7).

2. Select “Edit” tab.

3. Specify values for “Horizontal grid” and “Vertical grid”.
