Controls the behavior of the grid in the view.

View

Turns the grid display and grid snapping on or off. You do not have to display the grid to snap items to it.

Show grid

Turns the grid display on or off.

Snap grid

Turns the snap-to-grid feature on or off. When you select this option, items always align with the grid lines or nearest intersection of the grid lines. Grid lines are not printed.

Style

Specifies either Static or Dynamic grid style. A static grid displays solid grid lines that do not move as you zoom in or out. When you zoom in or out, the grid lines for a dynamic grid change with the level of magnification. A dynamic grid displays index lines that intersect with the darker, solid grid lines. The choice of grid style affects the option that is available in the Spacing or Density box and the availability of the Index options, too.

Spacing

Allows you to specify the space between the grid lines when you choose the Static grid style from the Style list.

Density

Allows you to specify fine, medium, or coarse levels when you choose the Dynamic grid style from the Style list. For a dynamic grid display the number of index lines varies depending on the zoom level, and so you cannot change the Index list when using the Dynamic grid style.

Index

Specifies the grid index, which is the number of minor grid lines. This option is available only with the Static grid style.
