Use the Grids tab to create grid lines in regular intervals or to specific times and station points. The time and distance grid is shown within the time-distance cell.
Open an integrated (time-distance) view and click in a time-distance cell with an existing grid. Click the Grid tab in the Object Properties pane (Details toolbar).
Click the Details button you can edit the assigned grid or create a new grid.
Enter a name for the grid definition in the dialog Distance Grid/Time Grid Properties in the name field.
Every entry within the table shows a definition of the grid lines. Using the button add you can add new entries.
When a grid line should be repeated should be entered in the column Repeat every.
The Distance unit can be chosen in a separate column.
The Time unit can be chosen in a separate column.
Select the line color, the line size, and the line type for the grid lines.
Close the dialog.
