    Default Grid lines displayed instead of Grid Dots

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I am using Autocad 2002 and in one of my drawings, I can not get the grids to be displayed with dots as usual. Instead I see grid lines. And the grid lines do not stay a consistent defined grid distant. Instead they depend on what zoom factor I am viewing the drawing.

    I'm guessing it is just some variable that got flipped or something!!!

    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    What is your SHADEMODE setting? Dots are only displayed in 2DWireframe. Any other Shade setting will display lines.
