When enabling the ruler, grid lines can be drawn on the screen.
Is there a way I can print these grid lines with the drawing?
Thanks

I made an image with the grid patterns displaying by creating the grid, and simply using a screen capture to get just the grid. which could be pasted into the image.

I have also created a stroked square rectangle, created multiple well placed copies to simulate a grid.

I have a shape with four square rectangles, arranged 2x2, created using snapping to real grid lines, that can also be carefully placed to create a grid pattern - somewhat difficult to make a usable grid shape.

Without capturing the screen, I need to print my image from the program. Printing from the program will let me print to scale.

The latter example I made.

Is there an option somewhere in print to enable printing these gridlines? If so, where would I find it?

It's just a blue grid with transparency (a png) that can be placed above or below any layers as desired. If you have the layer visible, it will be printable. You can even grab the above image, take into PixPro, and see how it works/looks for you. Enjoy.
