Show units on grid scale

I looked in preferences and could not find it. When I zoom my part, the grid numbers are off the screen. How does one keep the grid scale on the screen?

The setting you are looking for is found under the icon shown below. Also take a look at my screencast and you will see it in use.

When I fade away, I can see the numbers. When I zoom, I want to see the numbers. My 10 x 10 is good for the whole object. I see 0, 1, 2, ...etc. If I want to see a small section, say 1 x 1 , I would like the grid to show .1, .2 ... or something similar.

I do not think that is going to be possible since the smallest grid setting allowed in a whole number, not decimals.

Thank you JH. It looks like another poor/sad limit for Fusion 360. Am I missing something? If there is a reason why one would want a grid but have no clue to what it represents, please explain.

I looked in set increments and i don't have that tick option available.

EDIT: found it ... i was looking in the set increments tab not Grid settings which look exactly the same.

Best I could come up with is using 'Fixed' setting major divisions to 10mm and subdivision to 10, for 1mm small boxes, 10 mm big boxes.
