Hi All,
I'm very new to OOo, first time using draw today, the problem I'm having is showing the grid as a drawing aid. I am trying to rough out a plan of my work building, (a bar) in order to plan some physical changes, but the absence of the grid makes it difficult to scale. The answer I'm sure is simple and in these forums somewhere so sorry to be a pain and re-ask the question!

In the drawing do:

Extra > Options > OpenOffice.org Draw > Grid

select the option Visible grid (second from the top)

There might also be some options to adjust the grid to your likings

(terms might differ since I am on Dutch built)
