How to Turn Off Grid in Viewport AutoCAD?

Understanding Viewports in AutoCAD 2025

Viewports are essential in AutoCAD for managing different parts of your drawing on a single layout. However, there may be instances when you need to disable the grid display within these viewports to enhance your working environment or clarify your drawings.

Steps to Turn Off Grid in Viewport in AutoCAD 2025

1. Select the Layout Viewport:

   • Navigate to the layout tab that contains the viewport you are working with. Click to select the specific viewport where you want the grid hidden.

2. Access the View Tab:

   • Go to the top of your AutoCAD interface. Click on the “View” tab to open the layout options and associated palettes.

3. Open Properties Palette:

   • In the “View” tab, locate the “Palettes” panel. Click on the “Properties” option to display the Properties palette on the screen.

4. Modify the Shade Plot Setting:

   • On the Properties palette, scroll down to the “Misc” section. Here you’ll find a field labeled “Shade Plot.” Click on this field to reveal a dropdown menu.
5. Set the Shade Plot to Legacy Hidden:
   • From the dropdown menu, select “Legacy Hidden.” This will effectively disable the grid lines in the selected viewport, allowing for a clearer visual representation of your work.

Troubleshooting Additional Display Issues

If you still encounter grid lines or other unwanted displays in your viewport, consider the following steps:

1. Check Additional Viewport Settings:

   • Sometimes other settings within the viewport may also affect visibility. Double-check viewport settings that manage grid and line types.

2. Adjust Visual Styles:

   • The visual style applied in your viewport might impact how objects and grids are displayed. Change the visual style to see if that resolves the issue.
3. Validate Layer Properties:
   • Ensure that the grid lines are not being displayed due to any layer states being turned on. Check the Layer Properties Manager for any visible layers that may contain grid elements.

FAQs

1. Can I hide grids in Model Space?

• Yes, you can hide grids in Model Space by accessing the Drafting Settings and disabling the grid display.

2. What should I do if the grid lines keep reappearing?

• If grid lines reappear, verify that your settings are saving correctly. Re-check your properties and ensure that no other commands are inadvertently resetting your display preferences.

3. How do I return to showing grid lines if needed?

• To re-enable grid lines, follow the same steps to access the Properties palette, and change the Shade Plot setting back to “As Displayed” or an equivalent option as necessary.
