The document grid is a series of non-printing intersecting lines that you can display in the drawing window. You can use the document grid to precisely align and position objects.
You can customize the look of the document grid by changing the grid display and grid spacing. The grid display lets you view the document grid as lines or as dots. The spacing lets you set the distance between the grid lines. The spacing options are based on the unit of measure for the ruler. For example, if the ruler unit of measure is set to inches, the spacing options are based on inches.
If the ruler unit of measure is set to pixels, or if you enabled the Pixels view, you can specify the color and opacity of the pixel grid. The pixel grid is a series of intersecting lines that show you individual pixels in a document. For more information about the Pixels view, see Viewing modes. By default, the lower-left corner of the document page is aligned with pixel grid to help you create pixel-perfect objects for the web.
You can also have objects snap to the document grid or the pixel grid, so that when you move the objects, they align with the grid lines.
The checkered effect in this graphic was created by using the document grid.
