in the X, Y, and Z directions. Set the number of grid lines to 2 for the
X direction, to 7 for the Y direction, and to 3 for the Z direction.
Type 432 in (including the in) into the X direction spacing edit box
and press the Enter key on your keyboard. Note that the program au-

rection spacing. The values specified in the First Grid Line Location
area locate the origin of the grid lines; make sure that these values
are all set to zero for this tutorial.
