I have a single X axis and two stacked Y axes. Is there a way to create grid lines parallel to both of the Y axes?

Yes, grid lines can be added that will appear across both Y axes.  Follow these steps to create the grid lines.

  1. Create the grid lines for the X axis as normal and specify that the grid lines are to be parallel to the first Y axis.
  2. Select the X axis and click the Graph | Add to Graph | Duplicate Axis command. 
  3. Place a check mark in the boxes to disable the tick marks and labels and click OK.
  4. After the axis is created, click once on the new axis in either the Object Manager or plot window to select it. 
  5. In the Property Manager, click on the Grid Lines tab.
  6. Change the Parallel axis to the second Y axis.
  7. Check the At major ticks box. 
  8. On the Line tab, change the line Style to Invisible to turn off the axis line.  Only the grid lines remain.
  9. Repeat these steps for each additional Y axis.
