3-D grid
Grids are important auxiliary tools for design tasks in 3-D. Use this function to define 3-D line grids. The lines of the grid are also called "system axes".

Text configuration
This function enables you to assign different designations to HiCAD part types. These are assigned to the HiCAD attribute $02 (in
the browser: H_designation 2). This makes it possible, for example, to
assign individual additional texts to different beam types or even plates
and pipes.
