Specifies snap and grid settings.
DSETTINGS (Command)
Turns Snap mode on or off. You can also turn Snap mode on or off by clicking Snap Mode on the status bar , by pressing F9, or by using the SNAPMODE system variable.
Controls an invisible, rectangular grid of snap locations that restricts cursor movement to specified X and Y intervals.
Specifies the snap spacing in the X direction. The value must be a positive real number. ( SNAPUNIT system variable)
Specifies the snap spacing in the Y direction. The value must be a positive real number. ( SNAPUNIT system variable)
Forces the X and Y spacing to the same values for snap spacing and for grid spacing. The snap spacing intervals can be different from the grid spacing intervals.
Controls the PolarSnap™ increment distance.
Sets the snap increment distance when PolarSnap is selected under Snap Type & Style. (POLARDIST system variable)
If this value is 0, the PolarSnap distance assumes the value for Snap X Spacing. The Polar Distance setting is used in conjunction with polar tracking and/or object snap tracking. If neither tracking feature is enabled, the Polar Distance setting has no effect.
Sets the snap style and snap type.
Sets the snap type to Grid. When you specify points, the cursor snaps along vertical or horizontal grid points. ( SNAPTYPE system variable)
Sets the snap style to standard Rectangular snap mode. When the snap type is set to Grid snap and Snap mode is on, the cursor snaps to a rectangular snap grid. ( SNAPSTYL system variable)
Sets the snap style to Isometric snap mode. When the snap type is set to Grid snap and Snap mode is on, the cursor snaps to an isometric snap grid. ( SNAPSTYL system variable)
Sets the snap type to Polar. When Snap mode is on and you specify points with polar tracking turned on, the cursor snaps along polar alignment angles set on the Polar Tracking tab relative to the starting polar tracking point. ( SNAPTYPE system variable)
Turns the grid on or off. You can also turn grid mode on or off by clicking Grid on the status bar, by pressing F7, or by using the GRIDMODE system variable.
Sets the grid style in 2D contexts. You can also set grid style by using the GRIDSTYLE system variable.
Sets the grid style to dotted grid for 2D model space. (GRIDSTYLE system variable)
Sets the grid style to dotted grid for the Block Editor. (GRIDSTYLE system variable)
Sets the grid style to dotted grid for sheet and layout. (GRIDSTYLE system variable)
Controls the display of a grid that helps you visualize distances.
Specifies the grid spacing in the X direction. If this value is 0, the grid assumes the value set for Snap X Spacing. ( GRIDUNIT system variable)
Specifies the grid spacing in the Y direction. If this value is 0, the grid assumes the value set for Snap Y Spacing. ( GRIDUNIT system variable)
Specifies the frequency of major grid lines compared to minor grid lines. (GRIDMAJOR system variable)
Controls the appearance of the grid lines.
Limits the density of the grid when zoomed out. ( GRIDDISPLAY system variable)
Generates additional, more closely spaced grid lines when zoomed in. The frequency of these grid lines is determined by the frequency of the major grid lines. ( GRIDDISPLAY and GRIDMAJOR system variables)
Displays the grid beyond the area specified by the LIMITS command. ( GRIDDISPLAY system variable)
Changes the grid plane to follow the XY plane of the dynamic UCS. ( GRIDDISPLAY system variable)
