Grid

The grid is a rectangular pattern of dots that extends over the area you specify as the drawing Limits. Using the grid is similar to placing a sheet of grid paper under a drawing. The grid helps you align objects and visualize the distances between them.

The grid is not printed. If you zoom in or out of your drawing, you may need to adjust grid spacing to be more appropriate for the new magnification.

Note: You can modify the x,y grid spacing(distance between the dots horizontally or vertically)
