--- Comment #5 from Al <al@hootons.org> ---
I have been waiting for this feature for years, and at this point it is the
*only* thing that forces me to abandon Draw and use other drawing tools.  Draw
is actually quite adept at quick technical drawings, which I do frequently (and
I believe many others do as well).  Unfortunately, the scale that is used in
any given technical document needs to be explicit *and* visible as represented
by a reference grid.  At the moment that is difficult to do in Draw, the only
way is to draw a grid of lines exactly over the grid.  However, as soon as you
do that these lines are constantly in your way as you attempt to manipulate the
drawing, being selected when you don't want them to be selected, etc.  Plus, if
one decides to change the scaling in a drawing that grid of lines needs to be
deleted and a different grid again drawn in its place.

Please consider this a near-term feature request.  I would propose a very
simple implementation consisting of a checkbox to turn it on/off, a color
selector to set the color of the gridlines, and a transparency setting to
determine their transparency.

Thanks!
