Specifying Ruler and Grid Settings

BarTender displays rulers along the horizontal and vertical boundaries of the Template Design view and the Data Entry Form view. A grid supplements the rulers by making it possible to display a specific number of grid points along each axis of the viewing area. These features can be very useful when you design templates and data entry forms, especially when you want to precisely position and/or resize objects and controls.

On the View menu, click View Options to open the BarTender Document Options dialog to the View Options tab.
In the Rulers area of the View Options tab, enter the number of divisions that you want for each unit of measure.
If you want to position and size objects according to the ruler's coordinates, click to select the Snap to object or ruler check box. Alternatively, click the button on the view toolbar. For more information, refer to Object Snapping.
Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.

On the View menu, click View Options to open the BarTender Document Options dialog to the View Options tab.
