    Me.GridOriginHorizontal = 80
    Me.GridOriginVertical = 90
    Me.GridDistanceHorizontal = 9
    Me.GridDistanceVertical = 9
    Me.SnapToGrid = True 
    Me.Application.Options.DisplayGridLines = True 
End Sub
private void DocumentGridDistanceHorizontal()
{
    this.GridOriginHorizontal = 80;
    this.GridOriginVertical = 90;
    this.GridDistanceHorizontal = 9;
    this.GridDistanceVertical = 9;
    this.SnapToGrid = true;
    this.Application.Options.DisplayGridLines = true;
