Grid Settings

When you are placing or arranging objects in a view, you can use the alignment grid for more precise positioning. When the grid is turned on, objects appear to "snap to" the dotted lines of the grid as if magnetized. You can turn this "snap to grid" feature on and off, and change the size of the grid cells.

In addition to defining a grid size, and whether to show, or snap to the grid, or Snap to Center, a guidelines margin can be defined around the perimeter of the view, such that objects can not be moved outside the guidelines margin.
