I would like to move my grid from one artboard to another, but I'm not sure how to do it.

Hi, Julia,

As far as I have been able to determine so far, you must choose the Perspective Grid Tool, then click and drag on one end of the Ground Level line, as shown here:

and drag the grid into another artboard.  If you will be working back and forth between artboards, set guides to mark strategic points so you may reset the grid to its original position.

If the scope is to have more than one perspective drawings in one file: don't do it or you will risk the first perspective objects losing their association with perspective.

Oooof, may I request that you all allow users to have a perspective grid on every artboard? It's cumbersome to drag it around and creates many errors on the go.
