Help me remove the grey dots

Post by Itsrich »

I can find the setting that will get rid of the grey dots (hopefully this image shows them). Some of my files have them and others do not.
Suggestions, please?

That's called the "Grid". Click on the button shown in the pic to turn it on or off. You can also turn it off or make changes in the "Snap Options" under the edit menu.

Trust me, you'll want to have the grid showing at times (if not all the time.)

Been using the software for nearly 20 years and never used the grid (don't need to). We all work in different ways.

I bet that's the difference between analog and digital! :lol: I can only hope to be more analog. :wink:

I never use it either but it is nice to have additional tools available, JIC.
