Grid Spacing (X) Sets the grid to the specified value. Entering x after the

value sets the grid spacing to the specified value multiplied by the snap

interval.

On Turns on the grid using the current spacing.

Off Turns off the grid.

Snap Sets the grid spacing to the snap interval specified by the

SNAP (page

952) command.

Major Specifies the frequency of major grid lines compared to minor grid

lines. Grid lines rather than grid dots are displayed in any visual style except

2D Wireframe. (GRIDMAJOR (page 1306) system variable)

Adaptive Controls the density of grid lines when zoomed in or out.

 Adaptive Behavior. Limits the density of grid lines or dots when zoomed

out. This setting is also controlled by the

GRIDDISPLAY (page 1305) system

variable.

 Allow Subdivision Below Grid Spacing. If turned on, generates

additional, more closely spaced grid lines or dots when zoomed in. The

frequency of these grid lines is determined by the frequency of the major

grid lines.

Limits Displays the grid beyond the area specified by the

LIMITS (page 573)

command.

Follow Changes the grid plane to follow the XY plane of the dynamic UCS.

This setting is also controlled by the

GRIDDISPLAY (page 1305) system variable.

Aspect Changes the grid spacing in the X and Y directions, which can have

different values.

Entering x following either value defines it as a multiple of the snap interval

rather than the drawing units.

The Aspect option is not available when the current snap style is Isometric.
