It is possible to change these parameters with the mini-elevators on the right or with the numeric fields. They will help to shift the grid on the plane defined by the working area. The X coord and Y coord allow you to change the position of your Grid guide. You then have access to all of its options in the Guidelines panel.Īs for the other guides, the first options ( Eye, Snap, Transparency) have the same utility and parameters. Indeed, as soon as you create one, a virtual Grid appears. The Grid guide is a little bit different from the previously seen guides.
The use of a Grid can be very useful to draw parallel line, a square with round corners, align a text on a vertical line. The Grid guide acts as a customizable graph paper where the basic unit is the pixel.
