Grid Size Control Behavior
-
When
ignore_shapeis no-checked(default)`:- The shape or preset size becomes the absolute reference for drawing.
- Changing
unitordivisionwill not affect the total size. - Instead,
unitvalues are automatically recalculated to fit within the fixed shape size. - This mode ensures that the layout conforms strictly to the preset dimensions.
-
When
ignore_shapeis checked`:- The user has full control over the grid dimensions.
- Changing
unit,division, ortotalsize 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.
