The Grids

There are 3 different types of grids possible in DEX, the graph, the line and the dot grids.

Use the Snap Settings pop up to change grid types.

The Graph Grid

The graph grid is like a sheet of graph paper. As you zoom in and out the graph paper adjusts to show a grid-like structure with strong major divisions and lighter minor division. When you zoom in, the graph paper will subdivide to show more grid lines.
