Grids

Grids are squares that fill the Cutting Mat area. They can be turned on and off as the program is being used. The factory Default for the grid shows the Spacing set to 1" with the Divisions set to 4. This results in a grid with bolder squares every 1" and smaller squares at 1/4". For these instructions I use a 1/4" square in light blue (#ADD8E6) with no secondary squares. The secondary squares do not appear when the Division is set to 1.

Grid Settings

The Menu has two additional options for quickly turning the Grid on and off and selecting the "Snap to Grid" option.
