5
Select the repeat spacing option and enter a value, or enter a value for the X, Y, and Z bay size.
6
Specify an insertion point in the drawing for the lower-left corner of the rectangular layout grid.
7
Specify the rotation of the rectangular grid about the insertion point.
Changing Layout Volumes
Use this procedure to change the angle or size of three-dimensional (3D) layout volumes. You can also change the
number and size of the grid bays.
If you use grips to stretch a layout volume, the behavior of the layout volume depends on the spacing type of each
axis. The overall size of the grid “jumps” in directions that are specified to use a certain bay size with repeat spacing
because the exact bay size is maintained. The overall size changes in directions that are specified to be evenly spaced
or manually spaced.
1
Select one or more 3D volume grids, right-click, and click Modify Layout Volume (3D).
2
In the Properties palette, expand Basic, and expand General.
3
Enter a new X width, Y depth, and Z height value.
4
Select the repeat spacing option and enter a value, or enter a new X, Y, and Z bay size value.
Adding Grid Lines to Layout Volumes
Use this procedure to add grid lines to a layout volume. You can add grid lines on the X, Y, and Z planes separately.
NOTE You can add lines only to volumes inserted with manually spaced lines or evenly spaced lines. Layout volumes with
lines placed at a fixed repeated spacing value cannot be changed. For information about grid modes, see
“
Changing the
Spacing Mode of Layout Grids
” on page 1487
.
1
Select the layout volume.
2
Specify the axis to which to add the grid line:
Then…
If you want to add…
right-click, and click X axis

Add Grid Line.
a grid line to the X plane of the volume
right-click, and click Y axis
➤
Add Grid Line.
a grid line to the Y plane of the volume
right-click, and click Z axis
➤
Add Grid Line.
a grid line to the Z plane of the volume
3
Specify the distance of the new grid line from the start of the grid.
■
If you have added a line to a layout volume with manually spaced lines, the new line is inserted at the
specified position. The position of the other lines remains unchanged. The grid size changes accordingly.
■
If you have added a line to a layout volume with evenly spaced lines, the new line is inserted and all
lines are recalculated, so that they are evenly distributed again. The grid size remains unchanged.
Removing Grid Lines from Layout Volumes
Use this procedure to remove individual grid lines from a volume. You can remove grid lines from the X, Y, and Z
planes separately.
NOTE You can remove lines only from volumes which have been inserted with manually spaced lines or evenly spaced lines.
Layout volumes with lines placed at a fixed repeated spacing value cannot be changed. For information about grid modes,
see
