Key-in direct command "set grid toggle" V8i version

See attached picture of the key in command and structure. It will not toggle the grid? I need some Ideas on the problem, when and if possible.

When it is on, it will not toggle OFF.or when ON, it will not toggle off.

 

 

 

  • I must have misunderstood the above answer BeMVP, I opened the key-in and typed in xy=0,0 do not think saw any change in the datafields? I then tried dx=0,0 I only am in 2D drawing and do not think I will be going into the 3D I am just a part timer doing 2D updates and corrections.

  • If I put this into the key-in browser:

    set ed toggle;xy=

    My message center reports:

    Enter data on : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

    or

    Enter data on : 2,3,4,5,6,7,8

    after each entry which confirms its accepting my entry.

    To toggle grids use:

    set grid toggle;xy=

    If you need to force an update, add UPD ALL  issues an update view

    Also, sometimes the tool settings gets out of synch. Adding a UPDATE VIEW;RESET starts the update view command which sets the tool lettings for itself and the reset cancels the view command causing the tool settings to revert back to the original command.
