Before using the grid, make sure your units are set correctly in the menu {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences → General → Units}}. For example, "MKS (m/kg/s/degree)" is good for dealing with distances typical in modelling buildings; "Standard (mm/kg/s/degree)" is good if you need to model details in smaller parts; setting 4 decimals is good to consider small fractions of a meter or millimeter. |

Make sure you use [[Image:Draft Grid.svg|16px]] [[Draft_ToggleGrid|Draft ToggleGrid]] to show a grid with enough resolution for your modelling needs. You can change the grid properties in the menu {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences → Draft → Grid and snapping → Grid}}. For example, lines at every 50 mm, with major lines every 20 lines, and 1000 lines in total (the grid covers 50 meters) is good for modelling buildings; use lines at every 1 mm and 1000 lines in total (the grid covers 1 meter) if you are modelling small parts. |

Description
The 
Draft Snap Grid option snaps to the intersections of grid lines.
Snapping the second point of a line to the grid
Usage
For general information about snapping see Draft Snap.
- Optionally change the working plane and/or the grid.
- Make sure snapping is enabled. See
Draft Snap Lock. - If Draft Snap Grid is not active do one of the following:
- Press the
button in the Draft snap toolbar. - Hold down the
button in the Draft snap widget and in the menu that opens select the Snap Grid option.
- Press the
- Choose a Draft or Arch command to create your geometry.
- Note that you can also change snap options while a command is active.
- If required use Draft ToggleGrid to display the grid. The grid must be visible for this snap option to work.
- Move the cursor near the intersection of two grid lines.
- If an intersection is found the point is marked and the icon is displayed near the cursor.
- Click to confirm the point.
