I’m happy to announce that starting today, with the latest update, Artboard Guides functionality is part of XD!

Creation is very simple, you can simply point to the top and left of any artboard, click and drag to create guides.

You can check how Guides work in a short video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnalFtR2KMA ) or check out Adobe XD’s help pages to see all the details of the feature (https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/artboards-grids.html#custom-artboard-guides).

Happy designing!

Wow, took you guys long enough. As soon as XD is updated with guides and rulers, I’ll download it, test it, and may even consider using it over Sketch. Until it has those features in an update, I’ll keep using Sketch.
