It is possible to set up various grid spacings over the axes, to render the grid with nodes, and to assign the coordinate system rotated relative to the current one and non-rectangular (distorted) grid.

If the model is displayed in the perspective projection, the grid is displayed only if the sketch plane and the screen plane are parallel. To set such orientation of the sketch plane, use command Normal to... |
