As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve delivered Layout Grids in the November release of XD. We’d love specific feedback on Layout Grids as we continue to grow, so I’m closing this feature request. If you have specific additional functionality you’d like to see in the Layout Grid feature, please do file it as a new feature request in the Design feature area!

Thanks,

-Elaine

We’ve tried to keep it under wraps, but we’re currently working on the early steps of getting this feature working. Please be patient with us and be on the lookout for some upcoming research opportunities!

Thanks,

-Elaine

We are currently designing this feature and planning to pickup this work soon. It’s high on the list for us.

We currently support Square Grid per artboard.

Layout Grid is coming in the future.

The first iteration of Grids is shipped on our Public Preview 2 in April 2016. Stay tuned for more improvements! http://adobe.ly/xd for downloading it.

Hi everyone,

I am currently investigating the rulers and the need for them. Since all of you voted for them, we’d like to understand more about how do you use rulers today or would like to use them in the future.

Let’s imagine a world, where you have guides, measurements, object distances displayed directly on the canvas in context of your current design (currently we have only the last one, distances for snapped objects), would you still need global rulers with global positions or those features mentioned are enough for you to operate successfully on canvas?

If you still need rulers if all these cases were satisfied, please let us know more about the needs and the ways you use them.

Thank you

Tom (@Adobe)

    I think what was release was entirely good for mobile prototyping. If Adobe XD was intended only for mobile, then it's just enough.

    I authored this feature request with the web in mind. 12, 16, 24 grid system is what i'm after at. I like the way Adobe Comp done the grid system. Hope this will be included in the next update in May.

    Guide layouts that allow the creation of a proper layout grid like bootstrap are an important tool. However they get created is fine. The guideguide extension is quite frankly the best, so you could hire that guy or license his UI and his grid notation

    Having GuideGuide Extension or similar tool would be great.

    Grid is essential especially when alling text. i am bad at keeping text boxes the same size and thus it makes it hard to use the standard align buttons to place them within the grid.
    I must say that I was happily surprised that your interactive grid lines that are currently in xd are quite good. Though I still find moments when they don't show me the particular distance that I'm interested in at a moment.

    Mentioning this sort of feature a while back, the grid system should also enable end users to define more than just just column-based grids, but ratio based ones; an end user should ideally able to use app-provided shorthands to express things like 1:2.618 to represent the first and second note o the golden ratio.

    Not necessarily related to the ratio-accommodating syntaxes Android and Web Platforms provides, end users should also be able to create these ratios as multipliers to existing content as needed.

    Such a system would enable column-based *or* ratio-based grids to be created based on the unit of a selected content"

    Level 1 of this should be based on the name of the symbol/layers.

    Allow users to define # of columns, size of gutter/margin and scale up/down for desktop/mobile. Hide/show as an overlay.

    Hi
    Grids are absolutely essential.
    The other big one is the ability to set up active & hover states.
    Cheers

    I use grids in photoshop to set a standard space, let's say a gridline every 160px with 10 subdivisions. This set up gives me 8 columns in a 1280px wide canvas. Having this grid allows me to set an infinite amount of grids configurations and keeps me grounded.

    I was very excited to use this product but won't be able to use it until I'm able to use guides, grids and rulers.

    Thanks,

    It is April already and desperately in need of an update. Out of time and in need of some crucial elements to finish my design and start to build. This is now really impossible. Starting to explore Sketchhhhh.... PLEASE ADOBE FULFILL OUR NEEDS.

    - Sitemap or Architecture view next to design and prototype, showing page relationship hierarchy

    - Guide defaults and setting pane, ie. Android Mobile 16dp padding left and right etc.

    - Need guides, not rulers with multiple color settings

    - Auto arrange feature that aligns all objects to the closest keylines

    - Ability to add rows and define number of columns in row

    - Works with Adobe Preview

    These are a few thoughts off the top...

    I think that in a web project, grid guide and ruler helps to create a layout system that fits the design. If the project is a web responsive takes more relevance, because this layout system helps to create the behaviour of the design in each breakpoint. And it could be a good combination with the repeat grid tool.

    Maybe it's more for visual design rather of user experience, but my day to day also have to perform this kind of work.

    While I don't use 'rulers' for web design, there is a definitely need for a grid and layout system. Some standard presets would be nice, but there also needs to be the ability to make a custom grid/layout, like in Sketch. Bootstrap is still in heavy use so some presets would be great. But I agree with others that say XD is unusable for production until this is implemented. Thanks.

    Without a ruler I am lost as to how to arrange my fluid grid, and I can't drag out my guides. This is a MUST HAVE feature for anyone working with websites.

    There is too much guess work involved with XD at the moment. Mainly the distance an object moves with the arrow keys. It is not consistent and I can't choose how many px I want the object to move with one click.

    Agree with the masses; I would love to see a grid system that adapts to the artboard size as well as a global ruler much like Illustrator and Photoshop - crucial for determining measurements and custom layout particularly vertical spacing.

    I wrote this article on my blog about how design tools should have more responsive functionality, and what that might look like.

    GuideGuide is relied upon by me constantly for UI work in PS.
