3.Controlling the Appearance of the Geometry Window

This section provides information about how to control the appearance of the screen by scrolling or zooming, and by showing or hiding axes and the grid.

Important!

Settings you configure on the Geometry mode Setup screen are applied in the Geometry mode only. Even if another mode has settings of the same name, the Geometry mode settings will not affect them. Conversely, changing setting with the same name in another mode will not affect the Geometry mode settings.

You can display axes and grid points (or grid lines) on the Geometry mode screen. You also can specify the pitch (spacing) of the grid points and lines.
