To create a cell-centered 2D grid in SMS, use the following steps:

1. Create a Cartesian Grid Generator map coverage.
Create a new coverage with the "CGrid Generator" type.
1. Create new coverage from scratch.
  1. Select Map Data in the Project Explorer and use the New Coverage right-click command.
  2. Use the New Coverage dialog to create a new coverage by selecting the desired coverage type, and naming the coverage.
2. Create new coverage from an existing coverage.
  1. Use the Duplicate command on an existing coverage. This will copy any feature objects on the coverage.
  2. Use the Rename command to give the coverage a new name.
  3. Change the coverage type.
2. Create a Cartesian grid frame.
  1. Use the Create 2D Grid Frame SMS Create Grid Frame Tool.svg tool to click out a grid frame.
  2. Double-click on the grid frame with the Select 2D Grid Frame SMS Select Grid Frame Tool.svg tool to bring up the Grid Frame Properties dialog.
  3. Use the Grid Frame Properties dialog to refine the dimensions of the grid frame.
3. Generate grid from the CGrid Generator coverage.
  1. Select the CGrid Generator coverage and use the Map → 2D Grid right-click command.
  2. Set the grid parameters in the Map → 2D Grid dialog.
