Martel Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi All, I want to have grid lines overlay my project for alignment purposes, so that when I rotate I may get it very straight Horizontally or Vertically. I have tried this to no avail. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji2 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Ok try this when rotating. Start to rotate and hold shift. It should jump *15 degrees at a time in your selected direction. This should help it stay straight. If you still need a grid, google one and post it on a new top layer. Then change its blend mode to additive or delete the white part.

Lance McKnight Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Alternatively, you could just use the Grid/Checkerboard Plugin. If you so choose to, make sure your secondary color is set to transparent (click on "More", slide the alpha to zero). And follow the above tip to help you with alignment. Also, the Rotate/Zoom tool would be a huge help, the Align Object Plugin helps, and there's also the Oblique Plugin. Quote Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day.

Martel Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Benji2: That is a great idea and it worked. Storm.Shadow: I like the checkerboard thing more. But... I downloaded the MadJik All plugins at viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21592 Could not get it to work. And yes I unzipped it into the PDN effects folder. And yes I had PDN off and started it only after the zip was installed .. So I kept looking and found this viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29595&p=258006&hilit=Grid%2FCheckerboard+Plugin#p258006 Couldn't figure it out either. I kept on and found this viewtopic.php?t=2302 Went back to MadJik's page and downloaded the checkerboard maker individually This got me working. for real Thanks to both of you for the help. BTW this is a snapshot of an emblem from the trunk of a car. (notice the fragments where I tried to clean background trunk up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
