      <p class="para_topic">You can use the Work Plane Preferences dialog to set parameters for the Graphics Window grid and the Work Plane Emphasis mode.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">A grid is a series of screen locations used for alignment. A grid allows you to reference or create objects on a specific grid scale. The grid design provides visual feedback and automatic display scaling for easy reading.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">There are three application-specific grids:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Overall - Used in Modeling, Gateway, and other applications - The default </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Drafting - When a drawing is displayed as the work view </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Sketcher - When in the Sketcher task environment, except when the drawing is displayed as the work view </p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <p class="para_topic">You can also set separate customer defaults for each grid type. </p>
