Set coordinates to guides
Is it planned to make available input fields to set coordinates to guides? Sometimes, I have to zoom enough to set guides at a particular X or Y point. It would be nice if you could recreate the experience we have in Illustrator and Photoshop on this matter.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, agreed. Right now I'm trying to place a guide at an exact pixel location, and I cannot do it by dragging it. It will go to 54, and then 59 - but not 60px. This is very annoying. How can we be "pixel perfect," when we can't set guides to exact locations?!?

I'd love to be able to select or double click guides and key in the exact pixel coordinates.
Sometimes when dragging guides down I can't get the exact positioning (say for example, 250px from the top and bottom of an Instagram story to mark out safe areas), so I have to zoom in.This gets even more time consuming given that there are no global guides in XD that can go across multiple artboards. If you then wanted to make your guides 300px away from the edge in my example, you have to change one, delete all of the guides on your other artboards, and then manually copy and paste. This is particularly inefficient and frustrating when you have tens or hundreds of story artboards.
