Ooh thank you @MEB On it!

True! I appreciate your response @v_kyr I'm a web developer and somewhat novice/intermediate when it comes to pixel/vector tools for creation as opposed to extracting assets already made. Will work on this!

Thank you for this. I guess I was hoping there were some kits already made for import into AD. I'll search through and find more UI / Wireframe kits that I like and will adapt. Mostly in need of barebones wireframing tools right now and enjoy the simplicity of Adobe's X D but rather not go back to them for anything. AD is completely capable.

Does anyone know of any UI kits for Designer that are specific to wireframing websites or apps? I have the UI Grade Kit but not exactly what I'm looking for.

Thank you so much for your help @MEB

Yeah, it appears I wasn't duplicating them when they were completely aligned. I've zoomed in much more to make sure everything is exact. As a test, I have two squares snapped next to each other and zoomed in. When I remove the grid I can still see a faint line in between the squares. I'm not sure if this is to indicate they're separate layers or if the gap will show when I export the final object. The background is blue, the squares are red. Also, is it possible to use my mouse/trackpad to select multiple squares at once? I know I can marquee select them but I'd like to do something like hold "command" and select multiple layers on my artboard NOT select from the layers panel.

Hello, I'm a web developer and somewhat of a beginner using design software. I have no problem extracting assets to use in development but actually creating things is new for me. Anyway, I'd like to create a series of icons or illustrations in an 8-bit pixel style. I'd like them to be vector based though so I can scale them in size easily. I have both Designer & Photo for Mac and am attempting it in Designer. I want to know if I'm going about this correctly. I started by creating a 500px x 500px artboard and set grid lines to be every 20px so that I have a grid of 25 x 25 squares. I created a 20px x 20px square layer for each section of the grid an duplicated them over and over until I had 625 of them covering the whole board. I filled them with various colors and had a large background layer behind the individual square as well. When I removed the grid lines though I noticed that the individual squares didn't seem to line up correctly even though they were snapping to my grid lines. It looks like the sample I attached. What should I do differently to create these square pixel illustrations? I'd like to be able to export to SVG as well.
