The following prompts are displayed.
Specify
grid spacing(X) (page 470) or [ON (page 470)/OFF (page
470)/
Snap (page 470)/Major (page 470)/aDaptive (page 470)/Limits
(page 470)/Follow (page 470)/Aspect (page 470)] <current>: Specify
a value or enter an option
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
986) 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 1344) 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 1343) 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 575)
command.
Follow Changes the grid plane to follow the XY plane of the dynamic UCS.
This setting is also controlled by the
GRIDDISPLAY (page 1343) 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.
