What is the Meta Grid?

Post by a40 » Sun Jun 05, 2022 9:05 am

Meta grid spacing is not discussed in the E Book or the Help Reference Manual.
And what is its relationship to grid spacing?
I ask because I am unable to achieve a grid of 12" when viewing my floorplan.
Thanks, Allan

The meta grid refers to the lines that are typically placed every n intervals of the dots that make the grid. It's a way to allow what I would call both a minor and a major grid interval as desired based on the needs of a particular drawing.
