I want custom angle grid lines.
i learned that i can make them act as guidelines, but how can i have grid lines other than vertical and horizontal gird lines ?

What are "custom-angel-grid lines"? Can you show an example so that we can see what you are hoping to implement in Illustrator?– magerberOct 12, 2017 at 17:53

I corrected "angel" to "angle" -- if you really meant "angel" I'm afraid you'll need to edit and explain what an "angel grid" is.– ScottOct 12, 2017 at 18:06

I didn't even think about angel/angle. Good catch, Scott.– magerberOct 12, 2017 at 18:38

If you mean you want to rotate the Grid in Illustrator, as in View > Show Grid, see Joojaa's answer - change the preferences for the Constrain Angle.
You can create guides at any angle though.,,,
Draw a rectangle the size of the overall grid you want....
With the rectangle selected, choose Object > Path > Split Into Grid and define the divisions you desire.
Double-click the Rotate Tool in the Toolbar and input the angle you want. Click OK
Choose View > Guides > Make Guides and the paths will be converted to guides.
- make guides. Any line can act as a guide line, which is a bit like a grid line although you wont be able to grid snap to them
- Rotate the grid, you can find this in the Preferences → general → Constrain angle

Ahh.. thanks. Yup I wasn't thinking of that at all :) But it does work. And well...I know nothing, absolutely nothing. ( especially if I don't use a feature all that much like grids).– ScottOct 12, 2017 at 20:20
