To Add Lines to Layout Grids

Use this procedure to add grid lines to a grid. You can separately add grid lines on the X plane and on the Y plane. If you are adding lines to a custom grid that was created by applying tool properties to linework, draw the new line or lines in the desired position before staring the procedure.

Note: For non-custom grids, you can add lines only if the grid was inserted with manually spaced lines or evenly spaced lines. Layout grids with lines placed at a fixed repeated spacing value cannot be changed manually.
  1. Select the layout grid
  2. Select an add option:
    If you want to add a grid line to … Then…
    the X plane of the grid click Layout Grid 2D tabX Axis panelAdd Grid Line , then proceed to next step.
    the Y plane of the grid click Layout Grid 2D tabY Axis panelAdd Grid Line , then proceed to next step.
    a custom grid that was created by applying tool properties to linework click Layout Grid 2D tabCustom Grid panelAdd Grid Lines. Then select the linework to be added, and press Enter. Press Enter again to keep the linework, or enter y (Yes) to erase it.
  3. Specify the distance of the new grid line from the start of the grid.
    • If you have added a line to a layout grid with manually spaced lines, the new line is inserted at the specified position. The position of the other lines remains unchanged. The grid size changes accordingly.
    • If you have added a line to a layout grid with evenly spaced lines, the new line is inserted and all lines are recalculated, so that they are evenly distributed again. The grid size remains unchanged.
