Grid Settings

[tomcass240]

Grids and snaps settings on the control bar at the bottom middle of the screen doesn't work. Clicking grid settings opened the window the first time but after I closed it it doesn't open again. None of the checkbox options work either. I need to turn off snap to grid as it's very difficult to use this software with it enabled.

Hello, I had the same issue and the workaround I found was to create a script to do the same thing as the button, since the "Utilities > Add-ins" menu works for me.

Here's the code for toggling the grid lines, put together from samples from the docs:

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback

def isGridDisplayOn():
    app = adsk.core.Application.get()
    ui  = app.userInterface

    cmdDef = ui.commandDefinitions.itemById('ViewLayoutGridCommand')
    listCntrlDef = adsk.core.ListControlDefinition.cast(cmdDef.controlDefinition)
    layoutGridItem = listCntrlDef.listItems.item(0)
    
    if layoutGridItem.isSelected:
        return True
    else:
        return False
    

def setGridDisplay(turnOn):
    app = adsk.core.Application.get()
    ui  = app.userInterface

    cmdDef = ui.commandDefinitions.itemById('ViewLayoutGridCommand')
    listCntrlDef = adsk.core.ListControlDefinition.cast(cmdDef.controlDefinition)
    layoutGridItem = listCntrlDef.listItems.item(0)
    
    if turnOn:
        layoutGridItem.isSelected = True
    else:
        layoutGridItem.isSelected = False   

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface
        setGridDisplay(not isGridDisplayOn())

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

Hope this helps!
