I've been using maya since 4.0 and have used grids to help scale. I used grid on axis and edge depending where the item is and angle. Recently after installing 6 on a new machine with same video card ATI RAGE pro. I have been unable to get Ortho views to show numbers. Persp is showing them, but not in ortho. I'e tried everything I can think of including changing from cm to foot and grid values i.e. length,grid lines every, subdivisions. I've turned grids off/on globally and by panes. Any ideas appreciated. Run 6.01 on XP pro sp2(upgraded from sp1 didn't work b4 upgrade). Intel pent4 3.02GHZ with 1g DDR 400mgz Ram.
