Display Grid Lines

Post by Bill Bulloch »

How do I display grid lines? The software gives me the options to snap to grid lines, but I can't figure out how to display them in the software.

There are two systems. One is a grid of dots and the other is guide lines.

If you press the F4 key you will bring up the Snapping Options. If you check the "Snap to Grid" box then that will display the dot grid.

Guide lines can be added by right clicking in the 2D window and choosing the Guide Lines option or you can drag them from the rulers on each side by clicking and holding the mouse button on the ruler and moving the mouse onto the 2D window.

You can right click on an existing guide line for more options.
