Changing the Lines of a Column Grid or Custom Column Grid
Apart from the overall dimensions of a column grid, you can also change the
number and position of grid lines on the X and Y axes. There are 3 different
layout types that control the spacing of lines in a grid. Layout type is specified
separately for the X and Y planes on the Properties palette for the grid.
â–  Manual: You specify the position of each line on the grid.
â–  Repeat (Fixed Bay Size): You specify equidistant spacing between lines on
the grid. The number of lines is determined by the size of the grid. As the
size of the grid changes, lines are added or subtracted accordingly. The
distance between lines remains fixed.
â–  Space Evenly: You specify the number of lines on the grid. The space
between lines is determined by the size of the grid. As the size of the grid
changes, the spacing between lines is lengthened or shortened accordingly.
The number of lines remains fixed.
NOTE By default, grids are inserted with evenly spaced lines.
The procedures for adding or removing grid lines vary depending on the
Layout type in effect, as explained in the following sections.
