Creating a grid is a straightforward process. The important principle is that for each grid, at least four splines are needed. The splines should intersect each other at only point and the splines in the same orientation should not intersect each other. Follow these steps to create a simple grid:
...
After drawing splines, a Spines layer is added to the Layer Control panel, Select the Splines layer then LMC on a spline in the workspace, it will be highlighted in red. Next, RMC on that spline to display options as shown in Splines Operation.
Break Splines: Selecting this option will split the spline into two splines
Insert Splines Control Point: Selecting this option will add a spline point
Delete Splines Control Point: Selecting this option will remove a spline point
Delete Splines: Selecting this option will remove the spline
Copy Splines: Selecting this option will copy that spline to other splines layer. After selecting this option, the Select Layer form will pop up as shown in
...
Splines Operation. From the drop-down list, we can select <New Layer> or an available splines layer there.
Clear Selection: Selecting this option will clear the selection of that spline. The spline will not be highlighted.
