Map View Axis Properties - Line Page

The Line page for a selected axis controls the axis line and grid line properties for the axis. The axis line is the line representing the axis and tick marks. Grid lines are a mesh over the top of the map. Along an axis, grid lines can originate from the major ticks, minor ticks, or both. The major and minor grid lines can use different line properties. Grid lines are drawn over the extent of the map. For example, if you draw grid lines for an X axis (the Bottom Axis), the grid lines are drawn parallel to the Y axis (Left Axis) over the entire map.
