Design grid

The "Design Grid" feature is available in all design step windows at bottom right.

The intention is to provide a special tool for rounding of geometrical values during the design process. It's related to length and angle values which are rounded when calculated (manual or automatic), reset to default or modified interactively in the design diagram.
Using the "Grid Settings" button one can customize the rounding to one of the pre-defined levels or a custom value.

Of course, all values can be modified manually or by an optimizer with any accuracy. The rounding feature is used for the above mentioned purposes only.

The design grid settings are project specific.
