    Hi,

    A question about skill for grid control

    like i want to have 3 set of grid control.

     1. default minimum from pdk (i.e. 0.005grid).

          minor spacing = 0.005

          major spacing = 0.005

          x snap spacing = 0.005

          y snap spacing = 0.005

    2. Next set is 0.1 setup for all.

    3. last is to have 0.2 for all.

    How can i set them into the skill for me to assign a bindkey to 3 of them instead of keep changing the grid controls?

    Anyone got sample of it? Honestly, dont know about skill writing.

    Thank you very much.

     

    Regards,

    henry
