[Ipe-discuss] why the grid no longer shows up when setting the grid size to less than 4 pts?

[Nasser M. Abbasi]

I figured the problem.

The grid will show up when zooming in to small area of the
drawing. due to small size, the grid will not show up when
the drawing is in full view and one must zoom in a little
for the grid to become visible.

Case closed.
