Axis Grid

Module(s): Advanced Draft

You can use the Axis Grid tool to create mutually perpendicular axis lines spaced at a value you specify. The X and Y axes can be labeled separately. An axis grid can also be subdivided into regions, each of which has different display settings - for example, color, line type and spacing between axis lines.
