Position: Grid Marks will be automatically attached to a currently selected PowerLayout
Standalone grid. If no grid is selected, you will get an error message.
Mark Positions & Copies:
Using the Where buttons, you can define where you want the Grid Marks:
• on the left side of the Repeat
• on the right side of the Repeat
• on top of the Repeat
• below the Repeat
• in between the columns
• in between the rows.
Note: The "in between" options can not be used in combination with stagger. If you enable stagger while grid marks are set to "in between", or if you load a mark set containing such a mark, the grid marks will be placed at the side, and a warning will be given.

For the Mark Position, you can (besides the normal Position settings) set the Reference. The
Reference defines what cell or column to use as a reference:. You can set the Reference to
Outer Left Cell or Outer Right Cell, or to Outer Left Column or Outer Right Column.
If the Grid Marks are placed on the top or bottom of the repeat, the options become top/ bottom instead of left/right, and Row instead of Column.
If a Column is used, a single Grid Mark is placed, using the column as reference.
In case you use a Cell as Reference, you can choose to Repeat the grid mark every Row (or
Column), every 2 rows, ect...
The examples underneath shows a 5 by 5 repeat with staggering. The Position is always centered at the left side.
