I am driven crazy by this. I do a very repetitive job for a client that involves lining up two parallel items.

I have made a custom 512 pixel grid for my 2048 pixel window. Great

EXCEPT

Each new window I need to select the custom grid or I get the automatic one.

Am I missing something or do the coders not think we ever do repetitive work?

Have you tried creating a preset in the Grid Manager and using that?

just question I was going  to ask 
I have made several grid presets in inches (pixels meaning nothing to me :(
How do I set one of my presets as the default when I open grid lines with Ctrl + "
ATM I always get 0.104 inch x 1 division 🤬
Any other suggests would be  appreciated 
cheers -- keep safe up there

Is there no option to change the default grid size? It seems, every time I open a new image or create a new document, I need to apply my own custom grid, in order to get the grid I want (and I want the same grid for all the images I'm editing).

It's just one of many features I find missing, to the detriment of Affinity Photo.

You can make your own presets >View >Grid + Axis management
I have a macro to set inches --- I could like have a grid size in the same macro
Built into my "start" macro I have 1x2 grid -- there also presets for  1x3 and 1x4 .
Turn grid on/off short cut is Ctrl + " -- not sure if that is default or mine
Works for me, but I'm editing photo mostly and make basic collages
Hope that helps; your questions welcome .
