Grid Tool

Quickly add a grid to your Battlemaps

Maps are often divided into grids. The gridlines can be visible or not on the actual image. In either case, we recommend using the Grid tool ('G' keyboard shortcut) to align the internal grid lines on your map.

When you click the Grid icon you will see another menu appear. There you can choose certain settings that should apply to the grid, such as the opacity of the lines, the size of each grid, and the units used to measure - it also allows a floating point in the distance input. (Which means you can do 1.5 m per square for measurement stick).

Applying a correct grid is important since it affects the measurements in the Measure tool and the size of the tokens when they are added to the map.

You will also see a blue box appear on your map. You can use this box to align the grid lines to any existing grid lines. Move the box around as you please and resize it to make it perfect. If you need to adjust by a pixel or two, use the size option in the grid submenu.

You can also change the grid to be hexagonal, either with a flat top or a flat side.
