Grid lines

Postby Terry50 » Thu Nov 27, 2014 10:43 am

Hello :)

When I change colors of the grid lines in the document properties window, all the lines on the whole page change to the color I pick for the major grid lines; and no lines change color when I change "Grid line color".  The program thinks all the lines are Major; even though I have the number "5" in the box - "Major grid line every:" When I change that number, the boxes just change sizes without indicating a change every 5th line etc.

What is the problem here? :?:
Thank you.
Terry

I'd try zooming in very far.

Please upload an example if that doesn't get you fixed.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

Hi
I zoomed in very far and it worked. Thank you. :D
The grid is defined as grid2985.
Can I select this grid in a new project; or do I have to make a template project which has this in it ? :?:

Cheers,
Terry

I think you will need to make a template.
