mmiles Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I am working out the layout pattern for a series of small (detail) using 2 1/4" and 1-1/8" modules in a large room. The room will be adjusted based on this small module; and also the locations of critical doors and openings. This is all drafted line work, BTW. I would like to use the reference and snapping grids to help adjust how I position the start points of the pattern. However, the grid, when displayed, is not in the right spot according to the floor plan that I am using. Is there a way to select the grid and relocate one of the axis to a start point of my choosing? If not, what options do I have? thanks! Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 One option is to Tools>Set Origin. Not typically recommend but it will do what you need in this case. Another is to simply place a Grid object from the Dim/Notes toolset & lock it in place. Also - you could set up an Architectural Grid using the Grid Bubble tool in the Dim/Notes. or you could draw an array of grid-lines manually and Modify>Guides>Make Guides Quote Link to comment
mmiles Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 thanks for the input. I was drawing lines and offsetting....but the draw grid command is a faster technique. Thanks! I was hoping I could just move the reference grid around as needed. How about using two origins - how is that done? The help menu mentions it, but does not explain it, which of course is not very helpful. Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 You reset the origin Tools>Set Origin at next click Then go back to the original by Tools>Set Origin>Reset origin to drawing center. Quote Link to comment
