Guides
An ability to drag out persistent guides to an artboard and have other objects snap to it

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!

Looking forward to a release for this soon (along with rulers). The lack thereof is probably my top frustration when using this program.

We are working on this, but in the meantime, you can now use the GuideGuide plugin for XD: https://guideguide.me/documentation/use-the-grid-form/

Could we get some kind of estimated timeline for this?

I#m on windows, so I can't see if sketch has rulers. Seeing as Adobe's other design tool include rulers and guides, I can't for the life me understand how these features were not included from the beginning.

Why XD cannot have the guides as illustrator - is it that hard? They are both Adobe products!

Please please please can we have guides? This would make me ditch Sketch and move to XD.
Thanks!

Hey friends! Please implement guides! For the time being, I have used Pixel Stick which has helped a bunch but needs guides in the actual program. Thanks!

I feel like it shouldn't be this difficult to add guides... Yet two years have passed.

It's really been two years since this request was created and we still don't have this feature? How is it possible?
