"Each layer has several independent settings that you can customize. These include grid size, grid angle, whether the snap grid is toggled on or off, whether ortho (plan) mode is toggled on or off, and layer color. See “Setting Up Your Drawing Grids” earlier in this chapter for more information on grid settings." p179 Datacad 21 manual

Thanks John,

From what I read in the manual, it seems the grid settings are always per layer.
I thought I may have had some recollection of an option to choose an 'overall' setting (not per layer) for grids, but I cannot find anything about that in the manual so assume that the logic I have now should hopefully be adequate.

Not certain what the numdivs value in PGsavevar is ... it may be intended to be a readonly value for quick access to the current layer setting (when debugging I did notice that it had the current layer value before I changed it, but changing it did not have any impact on the actual setting for the current layer).

Regards,
David H.

there is a gridlock macro that will change all grid settings for the on layers to the setting of the active layer.
