<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Is there a parameter that I can put in the config.pro to have the grid in the sketcher equal .500 X .500? </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Right now the default is 30 X 30 so when I sketch things start off much larger then</DIV>
<DIV>I need.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Thank You</DIV>
 
Look in the archives there have been posts about this before. The only soultion I have is to sketch a circle say 1" in dia. and start sketching from there.
 
There is 2 config options you would have to set


sketcher_set_grid_x_spacing .5
sketcher_set_grid_y_spacing .5


Also when you sketch, dont worry about dimension til you get the whole skecth geometry drawn, then box select all the dimensions and hit the modify button. Lock scale and modify 1 dimension to you size, and work from there.


Good luck.


PS I found those config options in Tools->Options->Find(check search discriptions)->search for "grid"
