Changing the shape of the grid

You can use one of two types of grid
. With a rectangular grid the grid lines run vertically and horizontally (the grid forms rectangles over the document). With an Isometric grid the grid lines run vertically and at thirty degrees to the horizontal. Isometric grids are useful for doing technical and perspective drawings. Isometric grids form triangular shapes over the document.

To change the grid shape

1. From the Utilities menu, choose Options (see Options).

2. Click the Grid and Ruler tab.

3. In the Grid Type section, choose Rectangular or Isometric.

4. Click Apply.

Tip

If you do not see the grid, you need to turn it on. See Displaying the grid.
