Parameters for polar axis grids

Tool(s): Polar Axis Grid + Modify Axis Grid

Using this dialog box, you can define parameters for the circles and spokes in the axis grid separately.
The dialog box is divided into the following sections:

Label

You can define the parameters for the label of the axis grid here. For example, you can define the text size, text angle and format for numbering. The settings apply to the axis direction currently selected, that is, the active tab.

For more information, see Parameters for axis grids - labels.

Display parameters

You can set parameters for the circles and spokes in the axis grid here. The settings apply to the region currently selected. You can define different display parameters (pen, line and color) for each region or use the automatic feature near the bottom of the dialog box to use the same pen, line and color settings for all regions.

For more information, see Parameters for polar axis grids - display parameters.

General parameters

Enter the number of regions for the axis direction in question and a value by which grid lines may overlap the actual grid itself.

For more information, see Parameters for axis grids - general parameters.

Automation (circles only)

When this check box is selected, all the regions in the grid are drawn with the same pen, line and color. Click Generate regions to enter the spacing between the grid lines in a dialog box. The system will generate the regions automatically. You can use the Based on radii and Based on offsets options to specify whether Allplan is to generate the regions based on the spacing values or radii entered.

For more information, see Parameters for polar axis grids - automation.

Angle (spokes only)

You can define whether the polar grid created is a full circle or just a section of a circle.

For more information, see Parameters for polar axis grids - angle.
