Specifying the gridline spacing
You use the Set Grid dialog to configure the gridlines that are displayed in regular intervals across the page. The gridlines help you to size and position items within your borders. You can change the horizontal and vertical spacing that appears between each gridline. Large values result in a course grid, which is useful if you want to size and position items approximately; small values result in a fine grid, which is useful for more detailed work. You can enter values between 1 and 210. To access the Set Grid dialog, select the Set Grid command from the View menu.
Powerdraw uses the unit of measurement that is specified in your computer's Control Panel. Refer to your Windows® documentation for details of how to change your unit of measurement.
