show grid settings

 Sorry, only one attachment at a time allowed apparently.  Here is the second one.

Strange result.

There are two parts to make this work. Add this to your env file. It will use the lower case g key to cycle through various
grid sizes. 

funckey g 'settoggle gridvalue 100 50 25 12.5 5; replay set-grid $gridvalue;echo grid = $gridvalue'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

The second part is a script. It needs to be placed in the directory where cadence can read scripts from.

Save it as set-grid.scr

Verify that your "Scriptpath" folder under user preferences >Paths>Config is where you have saved set-grid.scr
otherwise it wont work 

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

It works for me in 16.6

Thanks Scott 

 Got it. I was missing crcuial carriage returns. Thanks.

(I still wish there was a way to see the grid setting without changing)

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?
