Alignment and Gridline Guides

Alignment and Gridlines group sets object positioning behavior and defines properties for design surface gridlines.

• Display gridline guides: makes the design surface grid dots visible.

• Grid Size X: defines horizontal distance between the grid dots.

• Grid Size Y: defines vertical distance between the grid dots.

• Grid Offset X: defines the horizontal offset of the grid from the design surface center.

• Grid Offset Y: defines the vertical offset of the grid from the design surface center.

• Align to Objects: makes an object align with other objects on the design surface. When an object is aligned, a line which marks the object alignment appears.

• Align to Gridlines: aligns the selected objects with gridlines.

• Note

  Certain continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer models only print on predefined label surface positions. If such printer is currently selected, grid settings are defined by the printer driver and grayed out for this label. The Align to Gridlines option is automatically enabled.

• Do Not Align: makes the object position independent of gridlines and position of other object(s).
