How big is each grid space?

The selected base spacing is 6.35 mm. Square grids use that exact side length. Isometric spacing is the horizontal triangle edge; hexagonal spacing is the width across opposite vertices.

How can I keep the grid measurements exact?

Download the PDF and print at actual size or 100%. Browser previews are scaled to your screen and are not a measuring reference.
