Thumbs down Grid Size

Can anyone explain how to set the grid size. I can't find it in the manual.
What I want is set it to feet and inches or feet and 1/10 of a foot.

Default Re: Grid Size

You can set the grid size under the "File -> Settings..." menu item.

For feet and inches, "Draw grid major" can be set to 1.0 and "Draw grid minor" can be set to 0.083333 (1 divided by 12) to give you 12 squares per grid.

For feet and 1/10 foot, "Draw grid major" can be set to 1.0 and "Draw grid minor" can be set to 0.1.

1.0 is, of course, arbitrary --- you can use any scale you'd like here, as there is no universally accepted conversion from 1.0 to "real-world measurements" in 3D.
