Plan View Symbols End 1 (Default) In a plan view, the default setting to display a bubble at the start point of a grid line. (That is, when you draw a grid line, the bubble displays at its start point.) If desired, you can show or hide bubbles for individual grid lines in views. See Show and Hide Grid Bubbles.
Plan View Symbols End 2 (Default) In a plan view, the default setting to display a bubble at the endpoint of a grid line. (That is, when you draw a grid line, the bubble displays at its endpoint.) If desired, you can show or hide bubbles for individual grid lines in views. See Show and Hide Grid Bubbles.
Non-Plan View Symbols (Default) In project views other than plan views (such as elevations and sections), the default location where bubbles display on the grid line: Top, Bottom, Both (top and bottom), or None. If desired, you can show or hide bubbles for individual grid lines in views. See Show and Hide Grid Bubbles.
