bobwal Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 It would be handy if Designer had the functionality to set row height and gutter height, specifically to create an 8pt grid system. Currently there is only one gutter size setting for both columns and rows. Figma does quite a nice job of this.

bobwal Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 I figured out a bit of a workaround for this using a combination of columns and grid, might help some one. It's pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loukash Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 If you have Publisher, you can also make use of its Master Page layers that can contain individual sets of regular guides that you can turn on and off as needed. Note that it won't work in an Artboard environment, as an Affinity document can be either artboard or page/canvas based.

debraspicher Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I would like to be able to do the same. As an alternative, I setup the gutters in grid as well but closer to grid paper. I do wish we could have snapping behavior for center-on gutters, but it can be made quickly by adding guides... Quick grid can also do rows with gutters, but it's heavily dependent on keyboard modifier settings in Preferences. Regardless, it's possible to create a workaround with this as well and just use distribute options to ensure accurate gutters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
