In this section, we will learn about the grid, snap, and selection cycling status bar modes. The first two modes help us make drawings using a background grid as a reference, whereas the last mode, selection cycling, helps us make a selection of overlapping objects in an existing drawing. We will begin this topic by looking at the grid mode status bar option.
