Reference Grid
A reference grid is a visual drawing aid that contains a pattern of horizontal
and vertical lines or dots that represent a grid. Use gridpoint snaps to make
your drawing precise.

Example of a first point snapping to a grid
There are three types of reference grids available in AutoSketch, each suited

The default grid is rectangular, with snap intervals and lines that parallel
the x- and y-axes. This grid is the standard reference tool for most two-

Circular grids extend radially from the grid origin. They provide an excel-
lent reference tool for drawings that require alignment of points along an
arc or circle, such as a mechanical drawing of a gear.

Isometric grids align along three major axes, instead of two. This allows
you to create two-dimensional drawings of three-dimensional objects.

Circular
Aligns grid lines along an arc or circle. The radial grid
lines allow you to enter such points precisely. When you
set up a circular grid, you may need to reposition the
grid origin so that the radial lines of the grid are aligned
correctly on the page.
