Baseline Grid not showing

New Here ,
Jan 11, 2018 Jan 11, 2018

My baseline grid doesn't show up no matter what I do. I've checked and unchecked the Grids in back box, readjusted the View Threshold, reopened inDesign and googled for about 2 hours now. The only solution I can find is to readjust my view threshold, wich I already did like a million times. Can you please help me?

You can set a zoom minimum, when your zoom percentage gets to that minimum the baseline disapears. Once meant to be helpfull with smaller display sizes. So if you set the threshold to 5% the baseline grid will always show even when zooming out to very small sizes 😉

Just want to thank you for this answer Derek.  This info was not in any of the other threads about Baseline Grids and solved my problem!  Never would have guessed this was the issue.

Ok, lowering the grid threshold seemed to work. It was at 100% but I lowered it to 50%. If anyone knows, what's the logic on this? Seems counter intuitive to me.  Thanks for any help.

Hi,

 

I am also having this problem. This has never happened before. Its started happening when the creative cloud updated itself. Have you got any advice, I tried all of the above. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello, not sure if you found the answer, but for those who may still be searching and changing view, or threshold is not working for them.

 

Try also going to edit > Preferences > Grids. When there uncheck "Grids in Back" for those using parent pages, things on that page will hide your baseline grid if grids in the back is checked.

 

Hope this helps someone.

Need to put this in the selected answers, this was what fixed it for me. Never would have guessed that the elements I place on the page were hiding the baseline
