HI @Anonymous,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I am not sure I understand your question. What is the problem with which you are dealing? DO you have grids that are misbehaving?

[I assume you mean reversed -- a very fitting typo, and perhaps it was intentional....]

In newer versions of AutoCAD [this has not always been possible] you can set the Grid to fall at some multiple  of the Snap value [every fifth one, or whatever], so under that scenario, the Snap setting would always be the same as or smaller  than the visible Grid.  But you can set the Grid explicitly, and it doesn't have to have any relationship to the Snap setting.  [Why one would set it with no relationship, I can't imagine.]

I don't think anything "happens" if you set Grid smaller than Snap, except with Snap on, you would not be able to "land on" all Grid locations.  If Snap is smaller, you can land on all Grid locations and more in between.
