Help Hide Perspective Grid

[ryuakai]

Hello! So I was making a flat landscape little thing here, and I must've clicked something without knowing because this showed up! I can't seem to figure out what it is or what caused it. The little X next to the 3 sided square doesn't do anything either.

Thank you!

You probably clicked the Perspective Grid tool;

Choose View > Perspective Grid > Hide Grid

Or, if you can click very very precisely, click the little x.

Hey! Here from the future, almost 9 years later, and this is still an annoying problem. This perspective grid keeps getting triggered by who knows what combination of keywords. In 2025 we have fabulous AI-powered tools, but I still need to Google how to disable that damn perspective grid, which I've never used in my life. And no... it still doesn't work by clicking on that little "x" in the corner of the icon, which in theory should close the tool.

It doesn't get triggered by keywords. It gets triggered when you select the perspective grid tools or when you accidentally press a certain shortcut. If you never need it, create a custom toolbar that doesn't contain the perspective tools. ANd for hiding it: cmd+Shift +I

(which is mentioned in the documentation, no need to Google it)

Hello @Edu Couchez,

Sorry to hear you're having similar trouble with Illustrator. Could you confirm the version of the OS/Illustrator installed, and share a small screen recording of your exact workflow and the problem, so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
