<h3 class="subsection">Layout Area</h4>
<p>The layout area is where you see the layout. The cursor shape depends
on the active tool when the pointer is moved into the layout area.
A cross hair follows the X11 pointer with respect to the grid setting.
Select a new grid from the <em>Screen</em> menu.
The new value is updated in the status line.
A different way to change the grid is
<em>Shift<Key>g</em> to decrease or <em><Key>g</em> to increase
it, but this only works for English (integer mil) grids.
The grid setting is saved along with the data when you save a pcb layout.
For homemade layouts a value around 50 is a good setting.
The cursor can also be moved in the layout area with the cursor (arrow) keys or, for larger
distances, by pressing the <em>Shift</em> modifier together with a cursor key.
