Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the grid when printed?
The SVG is generated in millimetres at 1:1 scale. The accuracy of the final print depends on your printer and on whether your browser or PDF reader prints at 100% (Actual size) instead of "Fit to page". Always disable scaling for measurement-accurate grids.
Can I use this for engineering and isometric drawings?
The current tool produces square grids. For engineering work, choose a metric spacing such as 5 mm or 10 mm with subdivisions to match drafting conventions. Isometric and dot grids are not yet supported.
What is a "subdivision"?
Subdivisions are the fine lines inside each major square. A 10 mm major grid with 5 subdivisions adds a 2 mm fine grid. This makes it easy to measure halves and fifths of a major square.
Why are the major lines a different colour?
A two-tone grid helps the eye separate the rough grid from the fine grid, which is the standard convention in graph and engineering paper.
