Can’t turn off grid


Recommended Posts

The other day I wanted to show the grid and then I played around with the different grid settings, isometric and so on. Today when I started a new illustration, I can’t turn it off. I choose Grid and switch it on and off, but when I go back to the shape I’ve added, the damned grid is there again! I reset the app to factory settings, but nope - the grid persists. Any suggestions?

Thanks for responding. I went to the first drop down menu and at the bottom of that there is Defaults and from there I chose Factory Reset. 
The funny thing is that the grid which appears has blue lines while I set them to red when I played around with it.

Anyway, here’s a screen recording. As you can see, the blue grid just appears when I try to edit some in the image.

Developers will have fun debugging that, I can confirm problem exists when I import design to my iPad Pro 9.7” too even when you turn all the layers off. It’s like a ghost grid.

EDIT: I have been able to repair the file by creating a new document with the same dimensions and selecting all layers and using copy, then opening new document and using paste. A work around to fix your problem at least.

I think they are related to Column Guides

Reset/delete your column guides and see what happens

Yes, Carl123 is correct, that also fixes it. Turn off guides and turn off margins.

The only thing I think is a bit odd is that I thought that when I reverted or reset it to factory settings, that should affect everything, also margins, grids etc. 

Yes but you would not expect reset to factory settings to remove part of your drawing?

The guides were part of your work in progress confined to that document so as such are part of your work even though they are not drawn items.

So they are not part of the tools in the UI so as expected would be totally unaffected by reset to factory default in the same way you would not expect that action to delete some elements of your drawing. Hope this helps.
