Set the attributes for the grid displayed in the long or cross section region to be output to a CAD system.
The Grid Settings dialog is displayed by selecting the Settings button from the Distance Grid group (long section) or Offset Grid group (cross section) in the Grid Layout dialog.
Grid Settings dialog box
| Item | Used to |
| Major Grid Lines and Minor Grid Lines Groups | |
| Layer: | Set the CAD layer (Applies to LISCAD CAD or AutoCAD). The layer name can be any integer number from 1 to 32000 for LISCAD CAD and up to 32 character alpha numeric name for AutoCAD. |
| Level: | Set the CAD level (Applies to MicroStation). The level may be any integer from 0 to 63 for V7, or up to 32 alpha numeric characters for V8. |
| Colour: | List the 256 colours that are available for selection to be used for point attributes that are output to a CAD system. |
| Weight: | Set the line weight of the point symbol that is output to a CAD system. For LISCAD CAD, the
weight entered is the thickness of the line when plotted at the scale of the plan to be created.
The value entered for weight depends on the Utilities/Configure/Units linear settings. For metres
enter the weight in mm, otherwise enter the weight in inches. For MicroStation V7, select a value from 0 to 15. For MicroStation V8, select a value 0 to 31 or select ByLevel. Please refer to the MicroStation documentation. |
| Line Style: | Open the Line Style Library dialog. The line style currently set is displayed in the field below this button. |

| Layer: | Set the CAD layer (Applies to LISCAD CAD or AutoCAD). The layer name can be any integer number from 1 to 32000 for LISCAD CAD and up to 32 character alpha numeric name for AutoCAD. |
| Level: | Set the CAD level (Applies to MicroStation). The level may be any integer from 0 to 63 for V7, or up to 32 alpha numeric characters for V8. |
| Height: | Set the height on a plan of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. The units will be in millimetres or inches on the plan depending on the units set in the Utilities/Configure/Units command. |
| Width: | Set the width on the plan of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. The units will be in millimetres or inches on the plan depending on the units set in the Utilities/Configure/Units command. |
| Colour: | List the 256 colours that are available for selection to be used for point attributes that are output to a CAD system. |
| Font: | Set the text font of the attribute. The font is selected from a list box for LISCAD CAD. For MicroStation V7, key in a legal font number. For MicroStation V8, key in a legal alphanumeric font name. For AutoCAD key in a legal alpha numeric font name. Refer to the Font topic for further information. |
| Slant: | Set the slant of the point attribute text that is output to a CAD system. The slant is in decimal degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. |
| Direction: | Set the direction of the label text that is output to a CAD system. The slant is in decimal degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. |
| Weight: | Set the line weight of the point symbol that is output to a CAD system. For LISCAD CAD, the
weight entered is the thickness of the line when plotted at the scale of the plan to be created.
The value entered for weight depends on the Utilities/Configure/Units linear settings. For metres
enter the weight in mm, otherwise enter the weight in inches. For MicroStation V7, select a value from 0 to 15. For MicroStation V8, select a value 0 to 31 or select ByLevel. Please refer to the MicroStation documentation. |
| Origin: | Select the origin of the attribute. Refer to the Origin topic for further information. |
| Proportional: | Select whether the font used is to be proportional or non proportional. The effect of a non proportional font is to evenly space the characters and numbers. |
