    Opened up TM cad and most of my vertical grid lines are missing. I can only find an option to turn the grid on/off but can't add lines.
    This is what it looks like now and it's really going to bother me until I get it fixed. Throws me off completely for some reason
    Square is 2'x2' for reference

    Go to Option > Torchmate Setup > General Preferences... in the pop up, towards the bottom right, there will be a grid size entry. Just enter preferred grid size.

    Oh man thank you so much. It was driving me crazy. I wish this thing would save it's own settings. You think for what they paid for it it wouldn't have as many bugs.

    This usually only happens when you open the CAD program again after it is already open.

    How can I see the grid lines from a zoomed out position. I can only see them when I am up close i.e. 16 in width of the grid.

    You would have to change the scale of the grid and make the spacing larger between grid lines
