2D Grid

2D Grids keep your work in proportion. This squared grid is ideal for building two-dimensional shapes. And, with Drawing Assist on, 2D Grids help keep your strokes aligned.

Customize

Set up and adjust your 2D Grid.

To set up a 2D Grid go to Modify > Actions > Guides and tap 2D Grid. To edit your grid tap Guide Settings. This will take you to the Drawing Guides screen.

Your 2D Grid appears as thin lines that overlay your artwork. You can adjust the look and behavior of your guide with the following options:

Rotation

Drag the nodes to adjust the exact positions of your grid lines.

The blue Positional node moves the whole grid over the canvas.

The green Rotational node rotates the grid lines.

To reset the grid to the default position, tap one of the nodes, then tap Reset.
