Grid

Click to choose the color of the gridlines.

Standard colors

Style

Click Solid to choose solid gridlines or Dashed to choose dashed gridlines.

Grid spacing

Enter the spacing between gridlines, in pixels.

Subdivisions

Enter the spacing of the invisible subdivisions between the gridlines. These subdivisions are used when snap-to is enabled; objects will snap to the invisible subdivisions. For best snap-to results, set the grid spacing at an even multiple of the subdivisions. Objects actually snap to subdivisions, not to gridlines. But if the gridlines are “in sync” with the subdivisions, objects will in effect snap to gridlines.
