The grid appears behind your artwork in the
illustration window, and it does not print.
To use the grid, choose View >
Show Grid.
To hide the grid, choose View > Hide Grid.
To
snap objects to gridlines, choose View > Snap To Grid,
select the object you want to move, and drag it to the desired location.
When the object’s boundaries come within 2 pixels of a
gridline, it snaps to the point.
Note: When the View >
Pixel Preview option is selected, Snap To Grid changes to Snap To
Pixel.
To
specify the spacing between gridlines, grid style (lines or dots),
grid color, or whether grids appear in the front or back of artwork,
choose Edit > Preferences > Guides &
Grid (Windows) or Illustrator > Preferences >
Guides & Grid (Mac OS).
