Default QuickGrid for all platforms

Hi all,

Thanks to some help and suggestions by Andy, I've made quickgrid available for all AC3D platforms. Here is the link:

http://bellsouthpwp.net/a/t/atomicd/quickgrid.zip

QuickGrid allows you to set the AC3D grid resolution without you needing to go to the File | Settings... menu.

This is now a TCL script that you simply drop into your AC3D "scripts" folder/directory. Here's a brief description from the readme.html file included with the distribution:



Description

Displays a set of 9 buttons on a tool window, with each button containing a major and minor grid size. Clicking a button on the tool window sets the AC3D grid to the associated Major / Minor grid size.

For example, if the button is labeled "1 / 0.5", then clicking this button will set AC3D's major grid (Draw grid major) to 1.0 units and the minor grid (Draw grid minor (snap)) to 0.5 units.

The values in the quickgrid window may be changed by editing the quickgrid.tcl script in the AC3D "scripts" directory. Note that any changes made to this file will not be registered until AC3D restarts.

Installation

Copy the quickgrid.tcl file (included with this distribution) to your AC3D scripts folder (for example, if using Windows, C:\Program Files\AC3D5\scripts) and (re)start AC3D.

Changing the button values

To change the values to suit your own preferences, look for these lines in the quickgrid.tcl script:

Code:
   set gmaj { 1      1      1      1      1      1      1      2      4      }
   set gmin { 0.0125 0.0250 0.0500 0.1000 0.1250 0.2500 0.5000 1.0000 2.0000 }
Set the numbers in the top row to whatever numbers you'd like for the Major grid. Set the numbers in the bottom row for the Minor grid. If you'd like more or less options, simply remove or add values as you wish.

NOTE: You must have the same number of values in both rows.

Enjoy
