Hi Michael, perhaps somewhat related to this thread - is it feasible to add to MoI what Newtek does with Lightwave's Grids?


With Lightwave, you can "zoom in or out" of the workspace and that changes the resolution of the grid units - I've always like that feature about LW; you can guessimate the sizes your working with by looking at the current "size" display of each grid square.

If 1 meter is too small, you roll the mouse wheel to zoom out the view until each grid unit is say 5m or 10m, likewise if you need a smaller size, you can zoom in to like .1m per grid unit etc.

I've always found it helpful to be able to see the grid units and zoom in or out to the size I need to work with at that particular moment.

Perhaps having something like this could also help people avoid when they're working "too small" and get close to that what? 0.001 precision limit?

Now I'll admit that to date, I've always run MoI with the "no units" setting but I believe, I would specify units more often if the grids worked in such a familiar fashion...
(Of course having INI file option(s) for this would be just fine etc.)

Just a thought while reading this thread...
