My grid size tool is really nice. I have two ComboBoxText for major and
minor grid, each with its own predefined values and text entry. Input
in text entry is added to list. Clean and nice. Switching between minor
and major is one mouse click. Generally I use major 100, and when fine
positioning text I switch to minor 25. For component construction I use
of course finer grid.

I think coupling active grid size to zoom level is not really nice.
