Baseline Grid Won't Show

[bhjmom]

I've been trying to add a baseline grid to my document and it will not show. I've tried closing and reopening. I've tried creating a new document. No matter what I do, the baseline grid won't show. Even if I turn off preview mode, all baseline grid does it turn it back on but I get no lines. Screenshots attached.

Welcome to the forums.
What size are your pages? You may need to change the Display Threshold to a smaller value if your pages are very large.

Hi bhjmom,

Welcome to the forums

The Display Threshold shown in your screenshot of the Baseline Grid dialog determines at what Zoom level the baseline grid is drawn over your document.

This means that below 50% zoom your baseline grids will not show, and I can see you're currently at 47.1% - please zoom into your document until you pass this 50% threshold, or alternatively decrease the Display Threshold to see the grid at your current zoom level.

I hope this helps!

I've got the same problem. My pages are A4. Threshold is 100 but the grid doesn't show however much I zoom in.

Hi @Ffrankie,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums

Sorry to hear you're having trouble! Can you please provide a full screenshot of the Affinity application, and a separate screenshot showing your Baseline Grid settings for me?

Many thanks in advance!

I have the same problem. I am working with A3 double page format and the Baseline Grid is not showing at any zoom level

As suggested above, it would help to have a screenshot of the application window, and one of the Baseline Grid Manager settings.

Also, the Baseline Grid can enabled/disabled for individual Text Frames, so it might help to check the Text Frame panel, to.
