Specifying Ruler and Grid Settings

BarTender's rulers are displayed along the horizontal and vertical boundaries of the Template Design view and the Data Entry Form view. BarTender's grid supplements the rulers by enabling you to display a specific number of grid points along each axis of the viewing area. These features can be very useful while designing templates and data entry forms, especially when positioning and/or resizing objects and controls precisely.

From the View menu, select View Options to open the BarTender Document Options dialog.
On the View Options tab under Rulers, enter the number of divisions you want for each unit of measure.
If you want to position and size objects according to the ruler's coordinates, enable the Snap to Object or Ruler check box. Alternatively, you can enable Snap to Object or Ruler at any time by selecting the icon on the view toolbar. For more information, refer to Object Snapping.
Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
