1) to set grids, Main menu: Edit -> Current Drawing Preferences -> Grids
2) open the file, adjust the zoom, and save. View (zooming/center) is saved in the dxf file.

Hi I have two questions:
1) When I first start LibreCad, my dimensions of a grid box are 100 units. I would like to see my grids to show that each box is 1 inch. I always have to zoom out a lot until a grid box shows 1" dimensions. Is there a way to set this?
2) I have opened draws on the web and every time I see a blank screen. I have to zoom arbitrarily in or out until I see something appear. Many times this is so tiny it doesn't make sense. So what do I do in this case?
Ok one other question...why are units so difficult in Librecad..are there any tutorials that specifically explain this?
Thanks
