Snap objects to the document grid

Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard (Mac OS), type a value for Snap to Zone, and click OK. The Snap to Zone value
is always in pixels.
To snap an object to a grid, drag an object toward a grid until one or more of the object’s edges is within the grid’s
snap-to zone.
Ruler guides
Create ruler guides
Ruler guides are different from grids in that they can be positioned freely on a page or on a pasteboard. You can create
two kinds of ruler guides: page guides, which appear only on the page on which you create them, or spread guides,
which span all pages and the pasteboard of a multiple-page spread. You can drag any ruler guide to the pasteboard.
A ruler guide is displayed or hidden with the layer on which it was created.
New ruler guides always appear on the target spread. For example, if several spreads are visible in the document
window and you drag a new guide into the window, the new guide becomes visible only on the target spread.

This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap
Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
