Frequently asked questions

Engineering (computation) paper is used for hand calculations, sketches and homework in engineering courses. It traditionally has a light green grid of 5 squares per inch and a header for name, date and page number, keeping work neat and easy to scale.

A light grid guides the hand but does not compete with pencil or ink, and it drops out on most photocopies and scans. You can pick any other color.

Yes — switch the units to mm: the grid becomes 5 mm squares with a bold line every 5 cells.

Yes — all settings live in the page address, so a link reopens the same paper.

Five squares per inch makes sketches easy to scale (1 square = 0.2") and keeps columns of numbers aligned in calculations.

Yes — print the PDF double-sided; the grid lines up on both sides of the sheet because the page is centered on the paper.
