 If you still don’t see the grid after you have enabled it, make sure that the color of the grid doesn’t match
the background color of the window currently displayed.

Changing the grid size and color:
1. On the Option menu, click Grid/Snap.
2. Select the X spacing and Y spacing for grid size.
 Spacing is measured in pixels.
3. Select the Grid color in the drop down menu.
If you enable the Grid on the work area, you may also take advantage of a useful feature called Snap. The Snap option
causes all objects placed into the work area to fall along the boundaries set by the grid lines. The Snap option can help
provide a more ordered appearance to graphics objects.
 Using the snap option
1. The Grid option must be enabled.
2. On the Option menu, click Grid/Snap. The Grid/Snap Settings dialog box appears.
3. Click the Snap checkbox.
4. Click OK.
Finally, you will find that you can move objects by selecting them with the mouse cursor and dragging them to a new
location. However, you may find it difficult to select an object without accidentally moving it just a little. At times this
may be frustrating, so you may wish to disable the move feature using the mouse and only move an object by
changing its X and Y position parameters in the Profile tab of the object’s attributes box. This is the intent of the Fix all
objects feature.
 To enable the fix objects command
1. On the Option menu, click Grid/Snap. The Grid/Snap Settings dialog box appears.
2. Click the Fix all objects checkbox.
3. Click OK. Movement by mouse cursor is now disabled.
