      <div class="title_division">Using a Grid to Locate Points</div>
      <p class="para_division"> You can use a grid with this option to locate points quickly and precisely (see Preferences&rarr;Work Plane). For example, if the smallest increment on your part is in eighths of an inch (.125), you would set the grid spacing to .125. You could then create a point at exactly one inch in X and two inches in Y by counting over eight grid points in X and up sixteen in Y and indicating a screen position. When Snap to Grid is on, points snap to the nearest grid position. You can set the grid spacing as you want. The spacing in the X-direction does not need to be the same as the spacing in the Y-direction.</p>
