Reference Grid Properties

Check to plot a reference grid on the map.

Use the drop-down list to select the font to use to annotate the reference grids.

Grid Option

Select a grid option (Solid line, Dashed line, Crosses, Border Ticks).

Attributes (mm)

Specify the label size in map sheet units (millimeters)

Specify the line thickness in map sheet units (millimeters)

Specify the cross size in map sheet units (millimeters). Crosses mark the intersections of the Easting and/or Northing grid axes with the horizontal elevation (Relative Level) grid axes. The cross size is the full length of each bar in the cross.

Specify the border tick length in map sheet units (millimeters).

Grid Intervals

Check to display reference grid lines at reasonable interval, calculated using the currently displayed ranges in Easting, Northing or Elevation

Click if you want to specify the reference grid intervals.

Specify the reference grid intervals In the East, North, and Elevation boxes.

X-scale along sections

The spacing of the Easting or Northing axes is not an accurate indicator of distance along the section, unless the section axis azimuth is a multiple of 90 degrees (i.e. the section runs N-S or E-W). For angled section, you may wish to plot a "true" "X" axis along the section for reference purposes. This axis is plotted in addition to the easting and northing axes, and the axis labels bear an "H" identifier (such as 0 H, 100 H, etc.)

Check to plot X-scale along section grid.

Select to plot grid origin at the left. This means axis labels will begin at 0 on the left and increase to the width of the section on the right.

Select to plot grid origin at center. Label values increase both to the left and to the right of the center of the plotted section (there are no "-100 H" labels).

Specify the grid interval of X-scale.
