For 2D and 2D axisymmetric components, the View node has an Axis () subnode where you specify axis limits and grid spacing, and control the view scale (aspect ratio) for the plots.

Enter x minimum, x maximum, y minimum, and y maximum values for the axis limits.

The default setting in the View scale list is None, which makes the increments equal in the x and y directions.

Select Automatic to make the geometry fill the graphics window with unequal increments. This can be useful when working with thin and slender geometries. Then, from the Automatic list, choose Autofit (the default) to make the graphics window fit the geometry automatically. You can also choose Isotropic or Anisotropic to make the automatic scaling use an isotropic or anisotropic scaling, respectively. For Anisotropic, specify values in the x weight and y weight fields.

Select Manual to specify the view scale in the x scale and y scale fields. Equal values, such as 1, make the geometries appear with the correct aspect ratio. The default values represent the view scale of the previous setting in the View scale list.

Select the Manual spacing checkbox and enter x spacing and y spacing values to control the grid spacing manually. Enter Extra x and Extra y values directly or click the Range button () as needed.
