to easily calculate I am trying to make each square 1 inch how do I do that
If you are talking about the viewport grid spacing, when you create a new document use one of the inch-based templates.
If you mean some other square then you are going to have to explain what you are talking about.

I did make it an inch based template but then on the x and y it showed me that every 4 spaces was an inch.
