> One stupid answer :-) hehe
> Ok the grid dots when you start jed up are in normal mode = .2/jkunit , so this means that the distance represented from any one dot to the next dot is .2/jkunit.
> Now a JkUnit is aprox 10 meters. So if you set the grid setting to 1 .. (this is where it gets a bit confusing) you would expect the grid dots to be 1 jk unit apart, but it is the Snap Points that change.
> Jed will now let your movements snap at 1 jk unit intervals. (or every 5 dots) For grid settings smaller than .2 you can`t actualy see where they will snap. for .1 it is easy it will snap 1/2 way inbetween and on the dots.
> Now remembering that the normal map setting when you first start it up is .2/jk unit. (.2 of 10 meters)
> This happens to be equal to 2 meters so every dot to dot when the grid setting is .2 is two meters apart. To make a 2 meter square (2x2) simply connect 4 dots in a square.

THNX!
