Help making grid that prints

This sounds like it should be easy enough and in my googling I have found hints of how to do it, but I just need straight-up step-by-step on how to add a grid that will print on my maps. I see that there is a "grid" sheet, but nothing that indicates how I generate anything on that sheet.

Thanks

    Draw Menu -> Hex or Square Overlay. This brings up the add grid dialog. From here you can specify the characteristics of your grid.
    As for printing, note that the default grid will print as a singel-pixel line, which may be a bit thin on an actual printout, so you may wish to make the lines a bit thicker after adding the grid. The grid is an entity like any other, but note that you may need to thaw (unfreeze) the layer it is on first.

    Ok, turns out that I was forgetting that on sheets the "bottom" layer is most visible and not the top like my brain always assumes! Thanks for the help!

    Yes, this list is based on drawing order. That is, the topmost sheet is drawn first, then the next sheet is drawn over that, and so on.
