How to understand the grid in CAD software?

Many friends will ask some basic command questions, in fact, about CAD questions, it is best to open CAD first, and then press the "F1" key, enter the question to be consulted in the search, and then display, you will find the relevant answer. You can give it a try, the following content is taken from the help file, and it is only a part of it, please check the rest for yourself.

A grid is a matrix of points that extends to the entire area designated as the drawing boundary. Using a grid is similar to placing a coordinate sheet under a drawing. Grids allow you to align objects and visualize the distance between them.

The raster is not printed. If you zoom in or out of the graph, you may need to adjust the grid spacing to better fit the new scale.

Snap mode is used to constrain the crosshairs to move at user-defined intervals. When Snap mode is on, the cursor appears to be attached to or snaps to an invisible grid. Snap mode helps you pinpoint points using arrow keys or a pointing device.

Change the grid and snap spacing.

As you work, you can turn Grid and Snap modes on or off, and you can change the grid and snap spacing.

The snap spacing does not necessarily have to match the grid spacing. For example, you can set a wide grid spacing to use as a reference, but use a smaller snap spacing to ensure accuracy when anchoring points.

Change the snap angle and cardinal point.

If you need to draw along a specific alignment or angle, you can change the snap angle. This rotation realigns the crosshairs on the screen to match the new angle.

When you set the snap angle, the grid rotation also changes.

The snap base point is an offset value relative to the specified x,y value. The snap point is measured from the snap base point. The default snap base point is (0,0), but it can be changed to any x,y coordinate value to adjust the snap point.

For example, if the x- and y-spacing is set to , and the x and y base points are set to (0,0), the snap points along the x and y axes are .0 etc. Changing the x-snap base point to and y snap base point to will move the snap point along the x-axis to

1 and so on, so that the snap base point is moved along the y-axis to .2 And so on. Aligning the pattern may require moving the snap base point.

Don't use rasters, it's not necessary at all.

1. First of all, the first step is to open the file, at this time you can see several options to open the file on the page, then you need to click to open the "file".

2. Then click to open "File", and then a new document will be created; Then you need to set the set parameters, and then find the menu bar above, and then click New, and a corresponding dialog box will pop up, as shown in the figure below.

3. Then click to open the new one, and a drawing board will pop up at this time; Next, we need to do this blank document, and pay attention to the format of the file under this document.

4. Finally, find the option of "grid" at the bottom and click to open it, and you can scatter the first Kai to draw the grid, as shown in the following rushing diagram.

There are 4 ways to open the grid in CAD software, please refer to the following steps for details.

1. First of all, open the CAD software on the computer and enter the main interface of the software.

2. The first method: open the grid through the shortcut command F7, and the effect after opening the grid is shown in the figure below.

3. The second method: click the function button framed by the red box in the figure below to open the grid.

4. The third method: open the grid through the shortcut command grid, and after executing the command, select the value 1 by default.

5. The fourth method: open the sketch settings option box through the shortcut command dsettings, select the sub-options snap and grid, and select enable grid in it. If you set it up in any of the above methods, you can open the grid in CAD.

Open the CAD to find the location of the grid button:

Grid button. The left mouse button can be clicked to open or close, and the right mouse button can be clicked to open the settings dialog

Set up. <>

Settings dialog box.

Open the grid and set the grid spacing:

1. In"Coordinate squares"on your Mac"Enable the raster"。

2. In"Coordinate squares""Spacing"In the "x" bar, enter or select Horizontal Grid Spacing.

3. In"Coordinate squares""Spacing"In the "y" bar, enter or select the longitudinal grid spacing.

4. Click"OK"。

The function of the grid in CAD is to enable grid snapping, and you can see that when you draw a line on the canvas, the mouse will automatically snap when you approach the intersection point of the grid.

Take the CAD2011 operation grid step as an example:

1. Open the CAD first and you can see that the grid is composed of many small squares.

2. When you scroll the mouse, you will find that the small square will be enlarged or reduced with the canvas, and there is a square-shaped button below that is the grid button.

3. Right-click the button to see the prompt to open or close, click Settings, and the grid dialog box will pop up.

4. Finally, you can set the spacing between the grid, x-axis and y-axis, and you can set the cursor of the capture to be carried out in a while.

5. Finally, you can see that when you turn on grid snapping, you can see that when you draw a straight line on the canvas, the mouse will automatically snap when you approach the intersection point of the grid.

Tools Raw materials: electric tremor tumbling brain.

1. Open CAD first to get to know the grid, you can see that the grid is composed of many small squares.

2. These small squares, when you scroll the mouse, you will find that it will be with the scrolling of the canvas, zoom in or out, here you can see that there is a checkered button below is the grid button.

3. Right-click this button to see the prompt to open or close, and there is also a setting, click on the setting, and the grid dialog box will pop up.

4. In this pair of spare words, you can make some settings to it, turn on the grid, and the spacing between the x-axis and y-axis, and click the following options to set the cursor of the capture to be carried out later.

5. Of course, if you use it, you should select the following snapping, turn on the grid snapping, and you can see that when you draw a straight line on the canvas, the mouse will automatically enter the circle row snap when it approaches the intersection point of the grid.

6. There is a polar axis capture here, when you click on the polar axis and then go to the canvas to draw a line, after entering the angle, no matter which line the mouse is on, it is always at the input angle.

Press "F7" in CAD to realize the shortcut key operation of the grid.

In CAD, the shortcut key used to execute raster commands is the "F7" button. All you need to do is find the "F7" key on the computer keyboard and press it to start the grid operation. Of course, if you want to turn it off, you can press the same button again.

And the grid can be displayed only within the drawing boundary, or it can not be restricted by the drawing boundary.

1. First of all, open the CAD software and create a new drawing as an example.

2. If you want to snap grid points, you only need to enter the command in the diagram.

3. Then enter the parameter l to confirm.

4. At this time, a confirmation box will pop up, and you need to select Yes.

5. After the selection is completed, everyone moves the mouse again, and the movement of the mouse pointer will be moved at the distance of the grid point, and the grid point will be captured.

1. First of all, we open the CAD software and create a new drawing as an example, you can see that our normal mouse movement is smooth movement.

2. To snap grid points, we only need to enter the command in the diagram.

3. Then enter the parameter l to confirm.

4. At this time, a confirmation box will pop up, and we need to select Yes.

5. After the selection is completed, we move the mouse again, and the movement of our mouse pointer will be the distance of the grid point.

Generally, the grid du and the snap grid are used together to snap zhǐ"with"Raster"It's set back for the standardization of modulus DAO, A"Raster"The reference point in white is displayed according to the modulus size of the set"Capture"then forces the cursor to position at the point of modulus. Actually,"Raster"with"Capture"The modulus can be set separately, so that each has its own modulus, but for the convenience of drawing, the two modules are generally set to the same. If we design the dimensions to conform to the modulus, then with these two drawing tools, the drawing is very fast.

Generally, it is not used, it is for positioning, and it is only used by novices.

A grid is a tool used within a frame to locate references, align, and estimate lengths. Open the grid to make it private.

Command lattice.

Command line: grid

The grid command displays a grid dot matrix within the drawing boundaries at user-specified x- and y-direction spacing. The setting of the grid display mode allows the user to have an intuitive positioning reference when drawing. When the spacing of the raster lattice is the same as the spacing of the cursor capture lattice, the raster lattice visually reflects the shape of the cursor snapping lattice and the grid lattice visually reflects the drawing boundary.

Grid settings. Grid spacing can be set by executing the settings command, or from the pop-up sketch settings dialog box from the drop-down menu [Tools] [Sketch Settings].

Use CTR+SPACEBAR, then press the keyboard "E" key, then SPACE, (or CTR+SPACEBAR, press the keyboard "A" key, and then SPACEBAR.)

That's it.

It's equivalent to a ruler, but it's only used to determine the location. Nothing big deal.

Place. Think about it, the starting point and the end point of your straight line have been determined. What's the use of a grid grid?

Rasters can only be used within one frame. There is no great use. Of course, you can adjust the size of the grid.

But it doesn't work at all in practice.

Equivalent to a ruler, when the grid is opened, the mouse can only move on the points, which is probably very good for finding points and aligning. I don't need to talk about interior and architecture, don't struggle with things I don't need, there's no need for that.
