Setting up a grid
To display a grid, first right click anywhere on the page and select “Document Properties”
On the properties page, select the “Grids” tab
Select “New”
For a 1/4″ grid, select “in” as the Grid units, and set the X and Y spacing to 0.25, with Major Grid Line every 4
For a 1/8″ grid, change the X and Y spacing to 1/8 (0.125) and change the Major Grid Line Every to 8. TIP – you can just type 1/8 into the spacing field and it will convert it to the decimal number for you automatically.
