Guidelines and grid

Using guidelines or a grid is useful for accurately placing objects on your image.
Guidelines are moveable lines that can be placed vertically or horizontally. A grid is
composed of a set of lines that are fixed. Its size can be adjusted in the
Preferences dialog box.

the ruler.
2. Select View: Guidelines and Grid -
Guidelines [Ctrl+Shift+G] to begin
using guidelines.
3. Drag the pointer from the Ruler
towards your image to add a
guideline. Drag from the left to create
a horizontal guideline or drag from the
top to create a vertical one.
Tips:
• Select Snap to Guidelines from View: Guidelines and Grid to make objects
snap to the nearest guideline when being repositioned.
• To change the line style and color of the guideline, select File: Preferences -
General [F6] and select the Guidelines and Grid category.
• To remove a guideline, drag it to the edge of the workspace.
To display the grid:
