The dot grid may be used to insert points if the following conditions are met:
the dot grid is switched on (i.e. it is displayed),
the program is in the point definition mode.
To be precise, the first condition does not have to be fulfilled and the dot grid may still be used. But as the dots of the grid are not visible, it is not recommended to use this configuration (unless you are a really advanced and skilful user of SCIA Engineer).
The dot grid may be switched on and off using menu function View > View > Show / hide dot grid.
The capability of the snap mode to stick to the dot grid can be set in two different dialogues. The result is the same regardless of which dialogue is used.
Open the Cursor snap setting dialogue.
Tick the option Dot grid on or off (as required).
Close the dialogue.
Tick option Snap cursor to dot grid on or off (as required)
Close the dialogue
