The perspective grid in Illustrator is a useful tool when you are creating 3D graphics that need vanishing points. You can use the grid to create new objects or manipulate existing objects. The tool won’t appear on the final artwork and is only visible while you work in the program. However, you may finish with your vanishing point and need to remove the perspective grid.
Hiding the grid from your project can be more complicated than adding it to the project. To remove the grid, use the shortcut Shift + Control + I on Windows or Shift + Command + I on Mac or press the Escape key. You can also remove the grid using the menu bar or the grid icon in the workspace.
