Grid Size Control Behavior

  • When ignore_shape is no-checked(default)`:

    • The shape or preset size becomes the absolute reference for drawing.
    • Changing unit or division will not affect the total size.
    • Instead, unit values are automatically recalculated to fit within the fixed shape size.
    • This mode ensures that the layout conforms strictly to the preset dimensions.
  • When ignore_shape is checked`:

    • The user has full control over the grid dimensions.
    • Changing unit, division, or total size directly affects the drawing size.
    • This mode is ideal for custom layouts or flexible grid configurations.
    • The shape size is ignored, allowing free adjustment of all parameters.
