I Have Grid 1 set at 100 x 100 spacing and Grid 2 set at 1000 x 1000 spacing.
Grids 2 are displayed but not Grid 1. I have tried zooming in/out.
Both are selected to be displayed.
What could I be missing?

Dave

Tried reducing Grid 1 to 10 x 10.
Still doesn't display.
Grid 2 displays OK at any size.
Checked colour and it doesn't match background.
Disconnected the external monitor and the grid 1 doesn't display on the laptop.

Maybe the display needs to be calibrated?

You have to go to the [F0] Settings menu and pick [F6] Small Grid. Set it to 1 and see what happens. If this still doesn't work, what happens in a new, non-default drawing?

Thanks Mark. I changed the Small Grid from 20 to 1 and all grids display OK. After trying a number of settings for Small Grid I settled on 10.

Also for future reference I am using a 4k monitor. I think that this also reduces the visibility of the Grid 1 (Small Grid) because the Grid 1 are dots.

Can this be improved in future revisions?

Also having a light drawing background didn't help with grid visibility.
Changing background to black and Grid 1 colour to white helps make the Grid 1 visible.
