[Qgis-user] Set map grid CRS to follow map CRS?

[Michael Dufty]

Thanks Yoann,
Exactly what I was looking for.  I will see if I can add this to the user guide in 17.2.2.6.1.  It looks like leaving it blank follows the Map CRS though, not the project CRS.
It would be nice if the CRS selection control for the grid was similar to that for the map, with a drop down allowing to choose to follow the map, or the project, or set manually.
An easier but helpful change might be for the button to display “Map CRS” rather than “Change…” when nothing is selected.

Hi Michael.

You have to keep it blank. If no CRS is set for the grid, it uses the map's CRS. When you first add the grid to the map, its CRS is unset by default (at least in QGIS 3.10).
However, there is not an obvious option to clear the grid CRS once you have set it.
The trick is to select a section (i.e "Geographic Coordinate Systems") in the CRS Selector instead of a specific CRS, then to click OK.

I have set up some layout templates including a map grid.
This works quite nicely, except I seem to have to choose a fixed CRS for the map grid.
Is there any way to tell the map grid to use the CRS of the map it is attached too?  There doesn’t seem any obvious place to enter an expression, which seems unlike QGIS.
It seems like it must be the most common choice of map grid people would want.  Am I just looking in the wrong place or is it a missing feature?
