Snapping Objects to Grid
You can display a grid of vertical and horizontal lines to aid in positioning objects on a page. You can also turn on the snapping to the grid, which makes objects snap into alignment with the grid when you drag near a grid line.
The Creator can assist you in aligning objects in the illustration with the Snap to Grid feature. When you place, resize, or move objects on the page layout area, and this feature is on, the system automatically snaps the boundaries of these objects to the closest gridlines.
Showing, hiding, and configuring the grid
By default, the grid is hidden. To display and configure it, follow the procedure discussed in the Grid section.
