Create Master Grid

Use the Create Master Grid option (geogxnet.dll(Geosoft.GX.GridUtils.MasterGrid;Run)*), from the Grid and Image > Utilities menu to create a grid of any dimensions and populate it with a constant value. Once created, you will be prompted to edit the grid parameters, like cell size, rotation, coordinate system.

The option is also available in the GM-SYS 3D Tools > Grid Editing menu with the GM-SYS 3D Modelling extension.
