Create Custom Guides

Hi all,

I have two guides that divide my page into four areas. I want to create a grid inside to bottom right.

Apparently, I could do it manually, but wondering if there is a way to have the accuracy and options that the "Create Guides" feature gives you...

Best,

P.

    If you want a grid of guides out of your rectangle, then I suggest a two-step process:

    1. Use the MakeGrid.jsx script that you can access in your Scripts panel:

    2. Then use the AddGuides.jsx script:

    Finally remove the objects that MakeGrid.jsx has done.

    Regards,

    Yeah, was great. Didn't even have to do step 2.

    Hi pariss99445668 ,

    what kind of grid would that be?
    A grid of guides? A grid of strokes? A grid of rectangles or squares?

    Regards,

    Sorry, yes, a grid of guides. Similar to one one can create with the "create guides" feature.
