These options are in the Sketch folder of the document options (TopSolid button > View > Options).

Allows to modify the snap length and angle of the grid. For example, if the length is set to 10mm, the displacement from one point to another will be done 10mm by 10mm.

 

 

 

The Large radius value is a step at which a circle will be deformed differently during its resolution by the solver.

Below this threshold, for a rather short radius, it will not be able to change the sign of curvature and will always remain on the same side of the chord. This curvature sign change can be seen using the deformation command.

Otherwise, if the radius becomes to large, it could cross its chord and reverse its curvature.

 

 

The large radius option has only to be use for uncommon cases like a radius of several kilometers for railway rails.

The default threshold is set to R = 1m which correspond to a diameter of 2m. We highly recommend that you do not change this numerical threshold.
