Options Menu

The Options menu controls the editing environment. With this menu you can use a grid to help align objects, edit that grid, and require objects to snap to it. Finally, the Options menu allows you to zoom in and out on the graphic so you can edit the graphic at different sizes.

Grid Settings Brings up the Grid dialog box for choosing the size, color and visibility of the grid.

Show Grid Causes the grid to appear in the background for editing purposes. If the grid is on, choosing this option will turn it off. This is the same as choosing Grid On in the Grid dialog box.

Snap to Grid Positions any object subsequently drawn or moved on the layout on the nearest grid line. This option works whether the grid is visible or not.

Background Color Brings up the color dialog box for choosing a background color for the layout window.

Zoom Shrinks or enlarges your view of the graphic by the percentage selected.
