Use the grid

The grid appears behind your artwork in the illustration window, and it does not print.

  • To use the grid, choose View > Show Grid.
  • To hide the grid, choose View > Hide Grid.
  • To snap objects to gridlines, choose View > Snap To Grid, select the object you want to move, and drag it to the desired location.

    When the object’s boundaries come within 2 pixels of a gridline, it snaps to the point.

    Note: When the View > Pixel Preview option is selected, Snap To Grid changes to Snap To Pixel.
  • To specify the spacing between gridlines, grid style (lines or dots), grid color, or whether grids appear in the front or back of artwork, choose Edit > Preferences > Guides & Grid (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences > Guides & Grid (Mac OS).
