    Hi,

    In Illustrator you can change the position of the grid by moving the origin of the rulers. So make the rulers visible (Ctrl + R), then click in the upper left corner, where the horizontal and the vertical rulers meet (it’s a little square there), then drag your cursor over the edge of the artboard. The grid should be in the right position now.
    I hope this was helpfull 🙂

    Also, look in the upper left hand corner where the 2 rulers cross and double click the little crosshairs. That’ll reset the 0,0 of your rulers and grids.
