Hi Pat,

just hit the hash key on your keyboard: #

To adjust the density of the grid lines, go to File -> Document properties, 'Grids' tab.

This will create a grid that can be used for snapping. This grid will not be visible when you export the file. It is only for use in Inkscape.

For a grid that will be *in* the SVG (and not a helper functionality), use the extensions you can find at Extensions -> Render -> Grids...

Kind regards,
 Maren
