9 (optional) Click a number of subdivisions between major lines in the Minor Subdivisions drop-down list box. 10 (optional) Enter an offset distance between the minor and major lines in the Minor Offset distance text box. 11 (optional) In the Grid Position section, enter new coordinates in the Origin text boxes. The first text box is the x-coordinate, the second is the y-coordinate. 12 Click OK. TIP It is important to set the grid origin if you want the dial to display x, y, and z values accurately. Changing the Appearance of the Grid and the Drawing Origin AutoSketch allows you to customize the visual appearance of the reference grid and drawing origin. You can change the color AutoSketch uses to display these drawing aides and you can change the size of the lines, crosses, or dots that make up the reference grid. For information on configuring the reference grid, see "Setting Up the Grid" on page 61. You can hide the reference grid if you don't need this drawing aid. AutoSketch automatically hides grid lines or dots if the current zoom level would place so many of them onscreen that it would obscure the drawing. Gridpoint snap continues to operate correctly regardless of the onscreen grid display. You can also hide the drawing origin if you find it unnecessary for a drawing. If you do not use absolute coordinates, you may not be concerned with the position of the drawing origin. Much like hiding the reference grid, hiding the drawing origin does not remove any functionality. Absolute snap still operates normally. To change the appearance of the reference grid 1 On the View menu, click Options. The View Options dialog box appears. 2 Click the Appearance page tab. 3 Click a color from the Major Color and Minor Color drop-down list boxes. Changing the Grid | 65
