Grid Tab

EasyPower's customizable options are set up under Tools > Options.

The Grid tab is used to change the grid parameters. All of these setup parameters, including the snap grid on/off status, are saved with the current database.

Option Description
Grid Spacing

The X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) spacing of the grid, as it would be measured on a printout scaled at 100%.

Note: The gridpoints themselves do not print.

Applies to text dragging

Normally, dragged text does not snap to gridpoints as there is not usually a gridpoint where you want the text to go. However, you might want to have the text snap to gridpoints for specific alignment purposes.

Display grid points

If you select this check box, the gridpoints are displayed with actual dots on the screen; otherwise, they are not visible (but they are still active if grid snapping is on).

Snap to grid

Select the check box to have items snap to gridpoints when dragging them on the one-line.

Depending on the combinations you select of the previous two options, you can have:

  • The grid displayed and snapping off
  • The grid displayed and snapping on
  • The grid not displayed and snapping off
  • The grid not displayed and snapping on
Grid color

You can select any one of several colors in which the grid can be displayed.
