Most objects in the Grids task have properties that you can edit. Use the Select command on the vertical toolbar to select the object that you want to edit. Grid lines and grid arcs do not have properties that you can edit.

An important part of the Select command is the Locate Filter box that appears on the ribbon. It contains the available, predefined filters for the Select command. When you choose a filter in the Locate Filter box, the software limits your selections to the filtered objects in both the graphic view and the Workspace Explorer. For example, if you select as a filter Elevation Plane, you can select only elevation planes in the graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer. You can also create a filter to display only the grid lines on specific elevation planes.

The Grids task includes these filters:

Axis

Limits your selection in the graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to the three-axes of the coordinate system.

Construction Graphics

Limits the selection of items to construction graphics.

Control Points

Limits your selection in the graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to control points.

Coordinate System

Limits your selection in the graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to coordinate systems. You can place coordinate systems using the Place Coordinate System Command command. If the coordinate system you select was created by the Insert > Coordinate System by Points command in Molded Forms, the Geometric Construction Ribbon bar appears.

Elevation Plane

Limits your selection in the graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to elevation planes. You can place elevation planes using the Place Elevation Planes Command command.

Grid Arc

Limits your selection in a graphic view to grid arcs. Grid arcs represent the intersection of an elevation plane and a radial cylinder.

Grid Line

Limits your selection in the graphic view to grid lines. Grid lines represent the intersection of an elevation plane and either a grid plane or a radial plane.

Grid Plane

Limits your selection in the graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to grid planes. You can place grid planes using the Place Grid Planes Command command.

Grids Entities

Allows you to select coordinate systems, grid lines, grid arcs, elevation planes, vertical grid planes, radial cylinders, and radial planes in the graphic view and in the Workspace Explorer. Objects placed using other tasks, such as equipment, cannot be selected using this filter.

Radial Cylinder

Limits your selection in the graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to radial cylinders. You can place radial cylinders using the Place Radial Grids Command command.

Radial Plane

Limits your selection in the graphic view or in the Workspace Explorer to radial planes. You can place grid planes using the Place Radial Grids Command  command.

All

Allows you to select any object, even objects created in another task.

More

Opens the Select Filter Dialog. The Select Filter dialog box displays all of the simple filters that are set up to accept object type or system objects as discrimination data. You can then select additional filters to add them to this list. Only the selection of filters is available; all other options are disabled.

Inside

Specifies that all objects located entirely inside the fence be selected. This setting is the default for the Select command.

 Inside/Overlapping

Specifies that all objects located entirely inside the fence and those outside the fence but touching the fence at some point are selected.
