Secondary grid auto adjust

Hello...

...I like to have primary grid at 10pt increments on NQ and secondary grid at 100pt increments.

I am able to do this by using values of 10 for primary grid and 5 for secondary grid in the scale settings.

The problem I have is that when I adjust the scale range lower, the secondary grid will auto adjust to 50 pts to maintain balanced spacing

Is there an option to turn off the adjustment?....I would like the secondary grid to maintain at 100pts to provide perspective of how the scale range has been altered

The real issue is that the primary grid is changing when you change the scale. The Secondary Grid is set by taking the value you enter and using that number of Primary Grid increments. So for a setup with the following:
- Horizontal Grid Line Increment: 10
- Number of Increments for Secondary Grid: 5

You would have a secondary grid displaying at every 5 levels of the primary grid. Which, given that you state that you are seeing the Secondary Grid at every 100 points, means that your primary grid must not be displaying at every 10 points, but rather every 20 points to begin with.

Then, when you adjust the scale to compress it, when the primary grid gets too close together, the lines will expand out and the secondary grid along with it.

There is no ability to control this in a different way.
