SW08 Layout Plane Grid

[CorBlimeyLimey]

OK ... I give in! How can the grid in the Layout Plane be set to NOT be displayed? (SW08 SP1.1)

The grid responds to changes in the spacing settings in the Tools > Options > Document Properties > Grid/Snap, but ignores the Display Grid option which is unchecked.

Grids in the main ref planes respond correctly.

Toggle the Layout Sketch icon in the Layout tab.

See attached....

CBL,

Whoops... misread your post. I haven't figuired out how to toggle off the grid. I don't think you can. I will not use the layout sketch just because of that feature. I really, really dislike having the grid showing when designing.

I too, despise those grids. I find them extremely distracting. The auto-relations and inferences are quite sufficient for aligning entities.

I will be submitting an ER if no answer is supplied here.

Hey CBL,

This is more than just in a layout sketch. The grids are always on when you insert a 3d sketch plane into a 3d sketch. I donn't think there is any way to turn them off. Going into a layout sketch automatically creates one of these 3d sketch planes, but, when you open a layout sketch, right click, and uncheck 3d sketch on plane, You are still in the 3d layout sketch and you now longer have the visible plane with the annoying grids.
