The Grid

Kivio displays a regularly spaced grid over the document to aid stencil positioning. The visibility of the grid can be toggled by selecting View->Show Grid.

Objects edges are snapped to the nearest point on the grid regardless of whether it is visible. To toggle this behavior select View->Snap Grid.

To customise the grid select Settings->Configure Kivio... and click on the Grid on the icon list.

This dialog box will let you adjust the color the grid is drawn in, the horizontal and vertical spacing and the snap distance.

Tip: It is possible to have a non-square grid by specifying different horizontal and vertical spacings.
