Set up the grid on every chart page before the app joins the pages together. Review the whole layout, correct one page at a time, then remove any duplicated overlap between neighbouring pages.

This stage follows Pages and Layout. It is a short process for a single-page chart and a repeatable page-by-page process for a multi-page chart.

The aim: Every red overlay line should follow the chart's printed grid, every page should have the correct row and column counts, and neighbouring pages should join without duplicated stitches.

Set Up Your Grids at a Glance

Review Grids is step 6 of the wizard. Correct each chart page from there, then continue to Set Overlap.

When a page’s grid needs correcting, tap that page in Review Grids. The app takes you through three linked substeps:

6.1Set Corners──6.2Confirm Size──6.3Straighten Chart

Complete the corrections, return to Review Grids and repeat for the next page.

What Each Page Does

6. Review Grids
Check every chart page in its chosen layout and open any page whose grid needs attention. Review Grids guide.
  6.1 Set Corners
  Align the overlay with the four outer corners of the printed grid. Set Corners guide.
  6.2 Confirm Size
  Check and correct the number of rows and columns on the page. Confirm Size guide.
  6.3 Straighten Chart (optional)
  Correct curved or warped grid lines after the corners and grid counts are right. Straighten Chart guide.
7. Set Overlap
After every page is correct, remove duplicated rows and columns shared by neighbouring pages. Set Overlap guide.

The Overall Process

Review every chart page
Use Review Grids to check the detected grid size and compare the overlay with the printed grid.
Correct one page at a time
Tap a page that needs attention and complete its grid-editing substeps. Then return to Review Grids.
Return and repeat
Continue until every page has the correct corners, row count, column count and grid alignment.
Set the page overlap
For a multi-page chart, continue to Set Overlap and remove any duplicated rows and columns between neighbouring pages. Set Overlap guide.

Editing One Page

When you select a problem page in Review Grids, the app takes you through these substeps:

Review Grids Substeps

6.1 Set Corners
Place the four corners of the overlay on the true corners of the printed grid. This corrects rotation and skew. Set Corners guide.
6.2 Confirm Size
Check the number of rows and columns against the chart and correct the count if necessary. Confirm Size guide.
6.3 Straighten Chart (optional)
Use this when the corners and counts are right but photographed or scanned grid lines still curve away from the overlay. Straighten Chart guide.
Single-page charts: Once the grid is correct, the wizard skips Set Overlap because there are no neighbouring pages. It continues directly to Symbols and Colours.

Before You Continue

  • Every page has a detected grid.
  • The overlay reaches the true grid corners.
  • The row and column counts match the chart.
  • The overlay follows the printed lines across each page.
  • Pages in each row and column have compatible grid sizes.
