    Hi there

    • go to configuration (the wrench tool button or 6th from the left)
    • click on the general tab
    • grid display
    • current projection grid
    and then you will have grid lines superimposed on your map model.

    In case your coordinate system is not in eastings and northings you need to go and change it over.

    You will have to do the following:
    • go to configuration (the wrench tool button or 6th from the left)
    • click on the projection tab
    • select a projection that is in eastings and northings (UTM, Transverse mercator etc etc)
    Your grid lines should be in eastings and northings. you need to make sure you are using the correct coordinate system for the area that you are working on.

    Good luck!
