Generate Grids in Outlines

To access this dialog:

Edit ribbon | Shapes | Outlines | Generate Grids in Outlines
Run the command generate-grids-in-outlines
Use the quick key 'gio'

Generate a regular grid of strings within selected outline string data.

Select the origin of the grid, then the size of the grid intervals. You can specify a grid angle using the Azimuth setting.

Grid data will be added to the current object, which can be independent of the closed outline data used to constrain the grid.

Closed string data must be selected before you can Generate grid strings. Multiple closed strings can be selected.

Field Details:

Anchor Point: either enter an X and Y coordinate, or pick the origin point of the grid using the pick button provided. You can choose an origin point in any displayed 3D window.

Azimuth: enter the azimuth (Degrees) for your grid, or select a string in any 3D window to match the azimuth of the selected item. Snapping is supported if selecting a string to define the azimuth.

Grid Dimensions: define the size, in world units, of the grid intervals in Length and Width.
