Pin object to layout grid
I use the columns on the layout grid frequently to space objects but not being able to align objects within columns easily/automatically makes for time-consuming drawing of boxes etc in order to get the correct perfect positioning. It would be great to be able to align objects to columns either automatically when dragging (just in the same way objects align themselves to other objects) or by selecting an alignment preference (similar to InDesign) for layout columns and using the alignment buttons.

The main issue I encounter is no matter which manual setting I set for responsive design the object does not scale proportionally with the column grid. So if the column with is 20px and the object is 20px when I made the object responsive and the board, the object will end up shorter than the gride so the pixel scaling is not proportionate to each other.
I also use Figma, and in their app when you change the responsive width of the board the object resizes to scale with the columns, this is not the case with Adobe XD. This doesn't allow me to keep alignment automatically nor keep spacing consistent, nor does it scale things as it should.

*centrally align to columns (I know objects can already align to column edges)
