MOVING THE GRID

Anonymous
Not applicable
Need to move my backgkround grid on the X by 11" and on the Y 1'6.5". Does anyone know how. I can rotate it, but moving it doesn't work.

The grid is set up on 4'6", with mid points at 2'3". Want to line it up with my Grid Lines, but am unable to move it.

Thought if a new Project origin was made, the grid would follow, but it doesn't

The Project Origin stays the same for the entire life of the Project.
When you move that cross you are moving the User Origin, not the Project Origin.

Have you tried using the Set Rotated Grid command to set the Grid to your preference?
