Grids and Grid Modes

The gobeProductive graphics environment has two modes: freehand and Snap To. In freehand mode, you can place items anywhere in the workspace without anything guiding the placement of those items. In Snap To mode, the workspace is governed by non-printing vertical and horizontal guides. With Snap To mode on, items align to the grid guides and are easier to align using the mouse. In freehand mode, items have no guides and therefore are a little harder to align, but you can control their placement at a much finer level.

Toggling Snap To Mode On and Off

1. Select Grid from the View menu, then Snap To.

2. Select Snap To again to turn the mode off.

Displaying Grid Lines

The workspace can display major coordinate lines for the grid. These lines are not all the grid lines, but merely non-printing hash marks placed at regular intervals to help guide the layout of items in the workspace. You can toggle grid lines on and off:

1. Select Grid from the View menu, then Show.

2. Select Show again to turn off grid lines.
