In this article, we will be discussing how to make a grid in Illustrator. First, create a new document in Illustrator.

Select the grid tool and then click on the grid spacing icon at the bottom of the tool palette. You can now type in the desired grid spacing in inches or centimeters.

Now, you can start to add your artwork. You can use the grid as a guide to evenly distribute your artwork across the grid.

PRO TIP: If you are working in Adobe Illustrator, do not make a grid. This will result in your file becoming corrupt and unreadable.

You can also use the grid to help you alignment your artwork.

When you are finished, you can save your document and then close it. You can also print your document if you want.

Finally, we would like to mention that you can create a grid in Illustrator by using the drawing tools. However, this method is more difficult to use.
