Description

Grid Size

Controls the size of the background grid in the graphics area.

Snap Size

Controls the incremental movement of your cursor over grid points in the graphics area. If your cursor is not snapping to the nearest grid points when you move your mouse in the graphics area, increase the snap size.

Point Size

Controls the size of the vertices in the graphics area. Increasing the point size makes it easier to select an existing grid point when you are creating a part.
