![]() ![]() ![]() That divided the box into 4 rows, exactly what I wanted. That divided the box into 2 columns, exactly what I wanted.Īnd ask for 3 horizontal sections to be in the rectangular box. So to correct this, I realized I have to:Īsk for 1 vertical section to be put in the rectangular box. When I requested 3 horizonal sections, it added 3 horizonal lines in the rectangle, this produced 5 rows. When I requested 2 vertical sections, it added 2 vertical lines in the rectangle, this produced 3 columns. Now, I just figured out something about the Rectangular Grid tool, again by experimentation: And I am waiting on them to get back to me next week Mon - Fri. Well, I reported this to Customer Support. It produced 3 vertical columns and 5 horrizonal rows. However, the RG tool did not produce the correct grid. I put in 2 Vertical Sections and 4 Horrizontal Sections. In addition, when the Rectangular Grid tool window opens, you have to put in how many horrizontal and vertical sections you want in your grid. I called Adobe Illustrator support on this too. If you try to group something you did in one of the eight sections then the entire rectangular grid also is part of the group. The rectangular grid tool is a real pain in the donkey' rear end. I just click on the field describing the layer and rename it accordingly. I also learned that I can rename any particular layer in the layer' panel. If I didn't want that line then I'd just drag it to the delete bin at the bottom of the Layers Panel. So, if I wanted to keep the line, I was able to make it much lighter. When I clicked that dot, I was able to adjust the stoke of a line from 3pt to 1pt, or. I also figured out that by clicking on the unwanted line, a dot to the right of that line, appeared in the Layers panel. Later on, after I copied and pasted what I did in my upper left section into the other seven sections of my page, I was even able to either eliminate the unwanted guide lines by using the Layers panel. It was kind-of hard to accomplish the 1/4", inner section perimeter white space boarder, but I used the Line tool, with a stroke of 3pt, to help me achieve this. This allowed me to print out my page without worrying about having anything truncated at the top, left, right, or bottom of my page. In other words, I didn't print any type or put a picture or graphic in any of those white space areas. I left 1/4 inch (0.25") white space around the inner perimeter of each of my eight sections. So, here's how I got around that problem: Now, I started to work on designing what I wanted in the upper left most section.īut I later realized my printer was not going to print Edge to Edge, which created another problem. ![]() This gave me the eight sections that I wanted. Then I used the line tool with a stroke of 3pt to draw lines at the various points on the grid. Then I selected View > Show Grid which by the way was very helpful. That helped me get the eight sections I wanted. I calculated by 8.5" x 11" page into eight sections as follows: The width is 8.5", so dividing it in half equals 4.25" x 2. I got so upset with trying to use it, that I accomplished what I wanted to do in a different way. There is no need for the Rectangular Grid. Thanks for taking time to address my concerns.Īs I (mis)understand it, there is no need for the Recatngular Grid. ![]()
