Hi Illustrator team,

 

Can you make a guide layout option, like Guide Layout in Photoshop or Make Guides in Indesign.

Illustrator is super powerfull tool and use it all the time for making layouts, but I often find myself spending loads of time fine tuning guides and constructing a layout system, that could be done in seconds uisng a Layout Guide tool.

Just litterally copy the Layout Guide tool from Photoshop.

Set Page Margins
Set # Columns
Set # Rows
Set margins between columns and grids

..... Figma has it....... Indesign has it...... Photoshop has it........ 

Pretty fundemental to doing layouts if you ask me.

One could create a script that would work similar to the dialogs in InDesign or Photoshop.

 

If it is crucial for your daily routines, you may also consider to buy a licence of the GuideGuide extension.
