In photoshop CS5 there was a button at the top bar of the program where you could toggler rulers / grids (it was a square button and the had a ruler-looking border). I'd like to know how I can get this to show in CS6.

What I'm talking about:

As a new user of CS6, it's very irritating that PS does not provide a starter manual. In particular they should provide a list of keyboard shortcuts, especially that these are now the only way of accessing some features. Maybe I missed something obvious somewhere? – user5409 Aug 3 '12 at 7:09

I can't find it either. So they either moved it into oblivion or they just got rid of it.

I would recommend the hotkeys/shortcuts:

CTRL + ' = Toggle grid

CTRL + R = Toggle rulers

These are much faster than moving the mouse around and pressing buttons anyways!

It's true. It fell off into the bit bucket when they were building the new UI, and nobody could find it. :) I've always used Ctl-R, so I never missed it. – Alan Gilbertson♦ Jun 5 '12 at 0:48
Thanks, shortcuts are what I started using – Ayub Jun 6 '12 at 1:08

You can find it at the View menu (along with rulers, grid, snap to, etc.)

Rulers and grids are in the View Panel. Rulers are directly in view panel and and grid is hidden in show. Hope this helps
