To Add Grid Lines to a Column Grid With Fixed Bay Size

Use this procedure to add lines to a grid with bays of a fixed size. Normally, in a grid with fixed bays, the distance between the grid lines is more important than the number of grid lines.

To add lines to a grid with a fixed bay size, you have 2 options:

Tip: In cases where the number of lines is important for the grid, change the Layout type of the grid from Repeat to Space evenly or Manual.
  1. Double-click the column grid to which you want to add lines.
  2. Expand Dimensions.
  3. Add grid lines:
    If you want to… Then…
    add grid lines to the X axis of the grid expand X Axis, and enter a value for Bay size.
    add grid lines to the Y axis of the grid expand Y Axis, and enter a value for Bay size.

    If you enter a value that reduces the size of the bays, the number of grid lines increases as the extra bays are added to the grid.
