The Grid Tool draws a rectangle consisting of horizontal and vertical lines laid out in a grid pattern. As with the Standard Rectangle, position the mouse cursor over your picture where you want the top left corner of the grid to begin. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor to where you would like the opposite corner. When your grid reaches the desired size and shape, release the mouse button.


When the Grid Tool is active, the Option Panel includes sliders to set the number of rows and columns.


The number of rows and columns for the grid can be set prior to drawing using controls on the Option Panel. When you draw the grid rectangle, its overall size will be automatically adjusted to produce even spacing between each row and column.


A hollow grid can be created by selecting the Hollow/No Fill button from the Fill Selector.
