Today’s tutorial is going to highlight the GRID tool.

It’s a handy tool but I think often neglected.

When you work on a block it’s on the left side at the bottom of the row.

Start off with a 9 x 9 block and no graph paper.

click the little red square on the grid cool and enter 3 x 3 on the grid setup box.

Then from the top left corner of the block, click and drag down to the bottom right to draw out the grid.
