You can choose between two grid styles—dots and lines—and you can change the color 
of the grid by using either predefined grid colors or colors you select using a color picker.

Spacing of grids is defined by two values: the distance between major lines, and the 
spacing between subdivisions. The visibility of the grid and snapping to the grid are 
controlled by the Show Grid command and the Snap to Grid command in the View menu. 

Use the Guides & Grid preferences to set the color and style of guides and the grid, and 
grid spacing. 

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Guides & Grid (Windows and Mac OS 9) or Illustrator > 
Preferences > Guides and Grid (Mac OS X).

2 Set options for guides and the grid:

For Color, choose a color for guides, or the grid, or both. If you choose Other, click the 

color box, choose a color from the color picker, and click OK. 

For Style, choose a display option for guides, or the grid, or both. 

For Gridline Every, enter a new value (and unit of measure if necessary) for the spacing

For Subdivisions, enter a value to subdivide the grid.

For Grids in Back, select the option to display the grid behind all artwork; deselect the
