When using tight grids (especially the board layout grids), it would be
handy to be able to display "grid blocks". For example, setting grid
display to .01 inch gives lots of blocks to look at when fine positioning
things, but then eyeballing longer distances becomes more difficult (.25
inches is now 25 blocks away).
By enabling this new option, every fifth (or some adjustable)grid line
would appear bolded (or perhaps in a different color), to make eyeballing
distances much quicker & easier. So this option simultaneously displays
tight grids, yet allows you to readily discern longer distances.
This should be easy to implement & quite useful to anyone doing tight grid
work.
