David Bracher Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hi all, Please help. I set up a mew page do all the correct stuff. I then paste a section of a design onto a new page (same page set up) When I paste the item, the entire grid disappears, I try all the obvious solutions but no joy. I am going crazy. I have done the tool/smartcursersettings etc etc , still no grid All help welcomed Quote Link to comment
RussU Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Are you still in top/plan view? press 0 on your number pad to make sure. failing that, make sure your "show grid" button is activated, And switched on... Finally, as a last double check, double click on your snap icons to bring up the smart cursor settings (Which I think you've already done) And tick "show grid" Let us know how you get along.

David Bracher Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hi Russ, thank you for this. So I have done all the above. Thing is, I cut & paste over into a new sheet & it's as if the whole set up has gone crazy 😞 the paste just seems to be huge compared to the page, I click onto the 'Fit to gate are & grip appears I click 'fit to objects' object that I have pasted appears, however grid just disappears. I am going crazy . it's testing me Biggest thanks Russ Quote Link to comment
RussU Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 can you post a couple of screen grabs, before and after, so I can get a better idea? Quote Link to comment
David Bracher Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 So I go to original design Pic 1 & copy hihi;lighted area I then paste it into a new page (all set upon as the original) Paste disappears until I click 'Paste to objects' , the paste appears & grid does not !!

markdd Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Something to do with Layer scale? Make sure that the scale of the layer you are copying from is the same as the layer you are pasting to. Quote Link to comment
David Bracher Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hi there, Yes scale is the same, However the paste seems too be pasting in a gigantic way, Any suggestions Quote Link to comment
RussU Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Right, cool.... got it. The grid is restricted to your page boundary. zoom right in tight to the 0,0 point, and you'll find a very small page boundary with your grid within that. or click this button... I can't think of the way to allow the grid to spread beyond the boundary, so you have two options here. Make the page size huge, or tiled many many times..... or as mark says, reduce the layer scale so you're working within the page. Anyone else remember how to allow the grid to overspill beyond page boundaries? Quote Link to comment
David Bracher Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 cool will try Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Russ - turning off page boundry makes the grid spill over. Whether you see it or not depends on the grid spacing that has been set and (I think) the resolution of the monitor you're using. HA! Just tried on both my machines with the exact same drawing file and it seems to have nothing to do with the resolution of the monitor! On my drawing at least with the grid set to 10mm and 1000mm ; scale 1:48; the grid disappears below 12% zoom. Edited July 23, 2019 by markdd 1 Quote Link to comment
