LilleG Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 How do I change the grid size? I've looked under every menu and missed it, if it's there. The current grid is too large for my needs at the moment. I'm sure it can be changed; I just can't figure out how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 24, 2015 The grid is dynamic and changes according to the current zoom level and the unit selected for your document. Zooming in will give you smaller grid divisions up to the pixel (if your document units are set to pixels for example). Currently there's no options to change/customize the grid. This is however being worked on and should appear in the beta soon. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilleG Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Oh, good. Glad to hear that. It's pretty much worthless as is for my needs at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacheski Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It would be very helpful to set the major and minor grid spacing and subdivisions. For example for page of 16x16 icons, having the major grid lines every 16 pixels and the minor grid lines every one pixel would be very nice. I am using 16x16 slices to export, but I cannot see the slices and edit the icon at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilleG Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 The adjustable sizing is great. However, the ability to set color is needed as well. The pale gray lines show up well against the dark background; however, if you are working on a light canvas, they don't show up that well. No particular color works well in every situation. That's why we need the option to select the color as needed. Please consider adding this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 29, 2015 Staff Share Posted April 29, 2015 LilleG, That's coming soon. Ben hasn't finished improving the grid/guides system yet. There's more features coming ^_^ Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilleG Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ah, that's wonderful! The programs themselves are great examples of what good software ought to be. But the developers are even better examples of what we wish all developers/programmers were! This team is the most responsive to user needs/wants that I have ever encountered in decades of computer use. But I shouldn't gush, should I? :) smallreflection, MattP and Gear maker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
