@GeorgiyS,
In Aspose.Slides for .NET 24.11, the GridSpacing property will be added to the IViewProperties interface. It allows you to customize the spacing of the grid lines in the background of your document. The following sample code shows how to set the grid spacing to 72 points (1 inch):

using var presentation = new Presentation();

presentation.ViewProperties.GridSpacing = 72f;
presentation.Save("GridSpacing_out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);

Also, the DrawingGuides property will be added to the ICommonSlideViewProperties interface. Using this property you can add or change the adjustable drawing guides. The following sample code shows how to add the new vertical and horizontal drawing guides in a PowerPoint presentation:

using var presentation = new Presentation();
var slideSize = presentation.SlideSize.Size;

var guides = presentation.ViewProperties.SlideViewProperties.DrawingGuides;

// Adding the new vertical drawing guide to the right of the slide center
guides.Add(Orientation.Vertical, slideSize.Width / 2 + 12.5f);

// Adding the new horizontal drawing guide below the slide center
guides.Add(Orientation.Horizontal, slideSize.Height / 2 + 12.5f);

presentation.Save("DrawingGuides_out.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
