Question
How can I draw a line in the exact center of the canvas to divide it equally?
Answer
Use the grid feature to make equal divisions or draw a line in the center of the canvas.
Drawing a line in the center of the canvas
1. Select [Grid] in the [View] menu.
This adds a check next to it in the [View] menu and displays a grid on the canvas.
2. Select [View] menu > [Grid/Ruler Settings] and adjust the grid as needed.
(1) Set the [Origin of grid/ruler] to [Center].
(2) Set [Gap] under [Settings of grid] to the maximum value.
Note:
Adjust [Gap] and [Number of divisions] as needed to make drawing lines easier.
(3) Turn on [Snap to Grid] from the Command Bar and draw lines using the [Straight line] tool.
You can also turn on [Snap to Grid] from the [View] menu.
Dividing the canvas into three parts
If you want to divide the canvas into three parts, set the [Settings of grid] as shown below.
Set this to [Top Left] or [Top Right]
Settings of grid
Gap: Set this to 1/3 the length of the canvas
Number of divisions: 1
Note:
If you want to divide an A4 sized canvas vertically into three parts, set the [Gap] to 99mm, 1/3 of its length, 297mm.
