Using Rulers
Using Grids
The rulers help you measure the vertical or horizontal distance between
objects or between an object and the boundaries of the drawing area.
Rulers help you position, align, and resize objects. You can show rulers
along the left and top borders of the drawing area.
You can show the rulers to help you draw objects, or you can hide them
to give you more drawing space. By default, Drawing shows rulers. You
can hide the vertical ruler, the horizontal ruler, or both.
" To show or hide rulers:
1. Choose Rulers from the Options menu. The submenu at the left appears.
2. Select the ruler you want to show (vertical or horizontal).
OR
Deselect the ruler by clicking on the selected button of the ruler you
want to hide.
Drawing can position objects using the grids, snapping objects into place
for you automatically. The grid is a pattern of evenly-spaced vertical and
horizontal lines that help you align and size objects in a drawing:
The grid helps you set objects in the basic positions where you want
them, relative to each other.
