Grid selection grayed out

[RobC]

I’ve used the grid selection many times on many projects. Now, suddenly, I click on view/show and all the grid selections are grayed out. But, only for this one project. All my other projects show the selection and the grid when I click on it. What could possibly be causing the grid not to work on this project?

I figured it out! I had accidentally clicked “show helpers” and unchecked it. That’s what was causing selection of grids to gray out. Once I clicked Show Helpers the grid selections became available again. This is one weird quirk. I wonder why it was designed that way?
