Dialog Mounting grid

In this dialog, you can set the properties of a mounting grid. Mounting grids are assigned to individual areas of a 3D part placement, and during the placement of other components are displayed on these areas. Thus, placement is only possible on the intersections of the grid lines. Using the mounting grid, it is possible to represent a manufacturer and type-specific hole pattern, for example, on enclosure profiles, within which screw connections are set during the mounting.

The grid points defined in the dialog always refer to the origin of the area, which is displayed by means of a coordinate system.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Group box X direction

Grid increment:

Determines the distance between two grid lines in the X direction.

Number of grid lines:

Number of times the grid increment defined by the grid lines in the X direction is repeated.

The grid extends to the end of the mounting surface if you select the value "No limitation" in the drop-down list.

Number of grid lines in the X and Y direction may not be 1 simultaneously.


Group box Y direction

Grid increment:

Determines the distance between two grid lines in the Y direction.

Number of grid lines:

Number of times the grid increment defined by the grid lines in the Y direction is repeated.

The grid extends to the end of the mounting surface if you select the value "No limitation" in the drop-down list.

Number of grid lines in the X and Y direction may not be 1 simultaneously.
