Using Layout Grids
Use a layout grid to arrange objects in a 2D grid pattern. You can create a radial or rectangular layout grid. You can
anchor objects to the intersection of the grid lines (node anchors) or to the center of the grid bays (cell anchors).
NOTE By default, the markers for node anchors and cell anchors are not displayed when you insert a grid. To display them,
turn these components on in the Entity Display. For information about turning on display components, see
“ Changing the
Display Properties of Layout Curves ” on page 1481 .
