Custom subdivisions for auto grid?


Recommended Posts

I really like the "auto grid" feature of Designer, where the grid "subdivides" based on zoom level.

However, it's kind of annoying that the feature jumps between using 5 and 10 subdivisions… 

Five:

Also five – but note that the one "big" square is now four… And there's now a major grid line in the middle of what used to be the center rows/columns of sub-grid squares.

Suddenly 10:

What I would like:

For my own workflow, I'd like to always use subdivisions of 4 or 8. That would keep the main divisions from jumping around between zoom levels.

But I think the ideal would be some way to customize this behavior as a user – both the subdivisions and how the primary grid squares subdivide when zooming.

As it is now, I have to disable the auto grid and do the same runaround as on Illustrator: Zoom in, go to the Grids and Axis Manager, manually change the spacing (working with powers of 2 for convenience), then do whatever I zoomed in to do, zoom out, go to the Manager, change the spacing…

 

So… please give some love to the auto grid? 😃 I really like the idea of a grid that works based on the current zoom level, but I currently struggle to make it work for me.
