show grid settings

docb

Is there a way to see current grid settings on the screen, or do I need to go to "settings/define grid" just to see current?

  •  Nope... Silly eh :)

    To make things a bit easier here are some macros you can use to toggle the grid size. If the command window is open at the bottom of the screen then the grid size will get reported.

    Add this macro to your env file it uses the g key to cycle through various grid sizes.

    ##### "''Macros to setup grids" Uses grid-set.scr to set values
    funckey g 'settoggle gridvalue 100 50 25 12.5 5; replay set-grid $gridvalue;echo grid = $gridvalue'

    The macro depends on a script "grid-set.scr" to work. This file contains the grid settings. Place the script in the directory you use for scripts.

    scriptmode +invisible
    setwindow pcb
    define grid
    setwindow form.grid
    FORM grid non_etch non_etch_x_grids $gridvalue
    FORM grid non_etch non_etch_y_grids $gridvalue
    FORM grid all_etch all_etch_x_grids $gridvalue
    FORM grid all_etch all_etch_y_grids $gridvalue
    FORM grid done

    Kudos to the original author of these macros... I find them a big help hope you will too :)

    Great Scott! I lost this command on my env files when my laptop is formatted. I just had a question also on this, can the grids be forward and backward on the values?
    For example i set it to 100 then 50 and back to 100, do i need to go through all of the declared values before i get back to 100?
