GraficoDesign Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hi there I was wondering what would be the best/easiest way of creating a blueprint style graph? I've got an example below : https://image.shutterstock.com/image-photo/old-blueprint-background-texture-technical-260nw-284571158.jpg I'm not sure how to do it using AD, so any help would be much appreciated!

Pšenda Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 What exactly do you see as the problem? Set Grid with desired pattern. Draw blue Rectangle with gradient (fx). Draw thick (next thin) line (horizontal, next vertical) - copy/paste, move the copy (Move Tool or Transform panel), repeat Ctrl + J.

Hi there, I didn't mean there was a problem, I just don't know how to do it. So are you saying you have to do it manually with the line tool?

thomaso Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Possibly it's sufficient for your purpose to have it created only as grid guides via the Grid Manager (< menu 'View') Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
