Now I have to figure out how to grid 14 to the inch... the wife has
cabin fever because of restricted movement due to her fall, and has
decided to do some needlepoint on 14 to the inch fabric :-)

Remember the old way?

Draw your 1" grid lines on a piece of paper, then lay a scale between
two of them, slanted, so that 0" is on line and 1-3/4" on the other.

Then place dots on the paper at the 1/8" graduation points on the scale,
and the 1" space will be divided into 14 equal increments.

Repeat as required to make sure you get parallel lines in both planes
and then Voila! Once you've drawn lines through the proper points,
you've got a 14 X 14 lines to the inch grid.

Well, not _quite_ Voila!, but it'll get you there in a low-tech way, :-)

I _can_ draw :-) My problem is to merge a picture onto a grid.

Ahhh... I see.

The way I do it, in AutoCAD, is to generate the grid, assign it to one
layer, and then insert the picture on another layer and scale it for the
best fit on the grid.

maybe you've got a graphics package that'll allow you to do something
similar?
