Using the Grid Tools

The grid tool is available to facilitate arranging and moving objects.

A visible grid with a snap to grid functionality is available as a guide for laying out objects during form design. You can view the grid when designing but it is not printed. When you turn on Snap to grid, objects are automatically aligned with intersections of the grid, making it easier to lay out objects with uniform spacing.

Grid Shown

To configure grid settings:

  • Select Grid... from the Tools menu.
  • Modify the values to change the distance between horizontal and vertical grid intersections.
  • Click the OK button to accept the changes.

Grid spacing

When Snap to grid is turned on, objects are automatically aligned with intersections of the grid. Turn on Snap to grid by clicking the Grid Icon button on the Tools toolbar, or by selecting Snap to grid in the Tools menu.
