| The Situation |
|
We have multiple grids created for our project, and on the drawings we occasionally need to display off one or more of the grids. Is there a quick way to turn off the display of an entire grid? |
| Solution |
|
Named Groups can be used to quickly select an entire grid in a drawing view. Once selected, Hide Grid Annotation can be accessed from the right-press menu and the entire grid can be displayed off. Named groups are one of the most flexible ways to group elements in a design file. The elements of each grid that is created in the OpenBuildings Designer Grid System Manager are automatically grouped as a Named Group when a drawing view is created and the grids are displayed. This gives you a quick way to select all the elements of the grid so that the entire grid can be displayed off using the Hide Grid Annotation option. |

The grid will be displayed off and will remain off unless grid lines are added to the grid system or the Rebuild Grid function is used.
