Using Grids and Rulers

Grids and rulers provide a visual aid for the placement of objects on the OrgPlus page. The lines of the grid crisscross the work surface like those on traditional graph paper. When you place a free-floating object on the page, it snaps into place according to its position on the grid.

The rulers along the left and top edges measure the page in inches.

Note: Rulers are especially useful for outputting charts to large format printers and plotters. Click the File tab and select Print | Page Setup to set the paper size. Select the Adjust to: radio button and set scaling to 100% to get WYSIWYG output.  

Displaying the Grids and Rulers

To display the grid, click the View tab, then click Show and select Grid. To display the rulers, select Ruler.

Note: Grids and rulers do not appear in printed charts.
