Show Grids on Cut 2D

Post by JJB1 »

Hi,
not only a newbie to the forum but a relative newbie to CNC routing and 2D Pro,
I wish to show a grid lines while in design space, Found the dotted grid but am I right in thinking there is a hatch setting? If so "how to"
Further I find the red/pink lines which show when vectors are selected are very weak and unsaturated, any ideas how to improve this. Possibly a colour setting on the laptop monitor (apologies for my ignorance of PC i have come over from the dark side i.e a Mac user, dont hold it against me)
kind regards jjb

You can click on one of the rulers and drag onto the workspace to create guidelines.

You can draw lines and place them on different layers and assign different colors. You can lock the layer so you don't accidentally change it.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

You would only have to create it once if you saved it as a template.

It does sound like the monitor is the issue. Dots are clear on my display and the selected vectors are clear and sharp as well.
