The GRID command is used to specify the grid and the current unit.
Given without an option, this command switches between GRID ON
and GRID OFF.
<p>
The following options exist:
<p>
<table>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>GRID ON;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Displays the grid on the screen</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>GRID OFF;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Turns off displayed grid</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>GRID DOTS;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Displays the grid as dots</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>GRID LINES;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Displays the grid as solid lines</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>GRID MIC;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Sets the grid units to micron</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>GRID MM;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Sets the grid units to mm</font></td></tr>

<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>GRID INCH;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Sets the grid units to inch</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>GRID FINEST;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Sets the grid to 0.1 micron</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>GRID grid_size;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>Defines the distance between</font></td></tr>

<b>Examples</b>
<pre>
Grid mm;
Set Diameter_Menu 1.0 1.27 2.54 5.08;
Grid Last;
</pre>
In this case you can change back to the last grid definition
although you don't know what the definition looked like.
<pre>
GRID mm 1 10;
</pre>
for instance specifies that the distance between the grid points is
1 mm and that every 10th grid line will be displayed.
<p>
Note: The first number in the GRID command always represents the grid
distance, the second - if existing - represents the grid multiple.
<p>
The GRID command may contain multiple parameters:
<pre>
GRID inch 0.05 mm;
</pre>
In this case the grid distance is first defined as 0.05 inch. Then
the coordinates of the cursor are chosen to be displayed in mm.
<pre>
GRID DEFAULT;
</pre>
Sets grid to the standard value for the current drawing type.
<pre>
GRID mil 50 lines on alt mm 1 mil;
</pre>
Defines a 50 mil grid displayed as lines, and sets the alternate grid size to 1 mm,
but displays it in mil.
<p>
Pressing the <tt>Alt</tt> key switches to the alternate Grid.
This can typically be a finer grid than the normal one, which allows you to quickly
do some fine positioning in a dense area, for instance, where the normal grid might
be too coarse.
The alternate grid remains active as long as the <tt>Alt</tt> key is held pressed down.
