What if the grid spacing does not match the settings?

If after changing these parameters you are still not getting grids with the proper spacing, then try zooming in until you no longer see any more grid lines and you will see grids of the proper size.

There may be situations where your grids look like dotted points, as in the following screenshot, and not like graph lines:

If that's the case, then go to Drafting Settings and uncheck all the options in the Display dotted grid in: section in the Grid style panel, as shown:

Once you have unchecked all the dotted grid checkboxes, the grid will once again return back to the normal line type view, with horizontal and vertical grid lines. 

 

The next option that we will now discuss is snap mode, which—if used in conjunction with grid mode—can help make drawing quicker by using the grids as references.
