There is a line in my cdsenv which turn on the layout dots automatically.How to turn it off?

layout dotsOn Boolean nil

    That option is to control dot pins, not to control the display of dotted grids (oh, and Boolean should be boolean). There are three options that affect this:

    layout drawDottedGridOn boolean t
    layout drawGridOn boolean t
    layout dotStyleMajorGrid boolean nil

    With these two as t (the default) then dot grids will be drawn. If you change the first to nil, then it will do line grids. If you turn the second off, no grid will be drawn. The third option makes a difference if the first two are on (i.e. you have dot grids) and if set to t, it dims the major grid dots so they are not so bold.
