Guidelines and the Layout Grid

Layout Grid

In addition to layout guides and smart guides, you can use the layout grid when arranging objects in the 2D layout.

To show or hide the grid, use the 2D View section in the program settings.

Grid spacing is linked to the current measurement units and scale. The program changes grid spacing automatically when you change the scale of the 2D view.

Aligning Objects to the Grid

Only layout guidelines can snap to the grid. Objects do not snap to it.

To align objects to grid lines:

1. Add a guideline.
2. Move the guide to snap it to the grid.
3. If necessary, lock the position of the guide in the Project Tree.
4. Align an object to the guideline.
