The disadvantage I see with the graph paper approach is that the graph
paper may have to be synchronized with the margins of your printer for

Therein was the suggested theory that using both on the same printer
might negate that possibility. You gotta read these things, Bill.


The "hidden grid" layer approach doesn't encounter that issue.

Hard to tell whether that is case until you try both ... the problem you
are still going to face is the thickness/opacity of your template paper
not allowing you enough opacity to do accurate aligning. Tick marks, and
other workarounds, work great on opaque sheets in the architect's
office, but not necessarily well on home printers and copy paper.
