## Description

The Grid keyword is used to set the grid cursor or span a grid area in the selection grid window. After the cursor is set, it is possible to arrange fixtures in the selection grid window. To position fixtures with a z-axis in the selection window, use the Grid keyword.

The grid command supports a space or a / (slash) as delimiters for command line input.

## Syntax
