BIRDWAVES Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 Hi Folks, I try to set the grid to one inch, and it keeps reverting to .853 inches. I can set the grid to .5 “. Optimally I’d set it to 1 foot with 12 divisions. Can’t do that either. When I set to 1 ft, it reverts to .853 inches. ‘what’s the trick here? thanks! Quote
NotMyFault Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 This may depend on document dpi setting. Affinity on iPad has a hard limit of 256px maximum grid, probably your inch gets converted to px and is larger than 256. Your .853 in fits to 300 dpi setting and equals 256px.

Thanks for your quick response notmyfault. So what should I set dpi to? (I don’t care about printing this) Quote

BIRDWAVES Posted January 2 Author Posted January 2 I just tried setting dpi to over 2000, and the spacing reverts to .126” Quote
BIRDWAVES Posted January 2 Author Posted January 2 Ok, I just figured out that if I adjust to a lower dpi, I can set it to 1”. I made it 96dpi, and could then set the grid to 1”. I set subdivisions to 16. Changing the grid to blue enabled me to see the 1” divisions better. And yes, I read the documentation. its weird that the documentation covers grid color, but not something as basic as how to get to 1” grid spacing. hope this helps other people. NotMyFault 1 Quote
