Your first video looks like a bug, but it's hard to diagnose with very little information.

 

  1. What is your OS?
  2. What is your video card spec?
  3. Does it happen all the time, or just in this one case (or randomly)?

 

FYI: Grid Settings refers to two kinds of grids. Sketch grid and Layout grid.

 

Your second video is by design. In the video you are clicking the control marked "Layout Grid" which is not the same thing as "Sketch Grid".

I haven't used adaptive grid until today. (I usually do small items with a 1/8" grid).

 

What's the difference between layout grid lock and snap to grid?

When "Layout Grid Lock" is checked on the grid will remain in position at the origin.  When checked off it will dynamically move based on the location of objects in the scene.  "Snap to Grid" is an option that allows the grid to be used as a target when moving objects.  When it is checked on the Point to Point move option in the Move command can use grid intersections as targets for moving an object.

Luke,

 

Unfortunately I could not reproduce the effect on a similar machine, using your settings shown in the video.

 

This is logged in our system as issue FUS-16821 for further investigation.

 

If you continue to find this bug let us know the steps you are taking.

 

-Phil

Thanks for more videos. I added them to the defect report.

 

It's still not apparent if there is anything special about your settings or use of Fusion in the videos that may cause this.

 

Is there anything else we should know about your hardware setup?

 

Is your computer connected to an external monitor?

The grid should attempt to always display roughly the same density as you zoom in and out. This means the squares will represent different sizes relative to your zoom and the size of your model. So if you are drawing a house, you don't need mm spacing on your grid, unless you specify a fixed grid at that size.

 

You are seeing it display a single density as you zoom in and out, it's not adjusting. I'm just trying to figure out how to reproduce it.

Luke,

 

Earlier in this thread I was mistaken. The sketch grid visibility control is in the Sketch Palette.
