Note:
To avoid confusion on the screen, the snap area is only displayed for one
horizontal and vertical grid line.
Invisible Guide Grid
An invisible guide grid consists of several invisible guide points located
at the intersections of the horizontal and vertical grid lines. Such grids
are helpful e.g. to create paths for dummy text areas in which a certain
number of lines should fit.
By default, the invisible grid has the settings shown in the figure below.
The default setting ensures that paths are always created on the grid.

(De-)Activating Invisible Grid
To activate the invisible guide grid, select GUIDES | GRID | BACKGROUND
GRID ON.
Now, when creating paths, an asterisk (*) in the status bar indicates that
the invisible grid is active (not on Mac OS). When the cursor has snapped
to one of the invisible guide points, G* is displayed in the COLOR window
(see page 30-21) (Mac OS) or on the STATUS bar (Windows).
To disable the grid, select GUIDES | GRID | BACKGROUND GRID OFF. Now
the cursor no longer snaps to one of the grid’s guide points.
Modifying Invisible Grid
Having selected GUIDES | GRID | BACKGROUND GRID ON, you can adjust
the grid’s default settings.
Note:
To make sure that paths are always created on the invisible grid, the
horizontal snap area must be half the horizontal point distance and the
vertical snap area half the vertical point distance.
