Grid divisions

[RayKymS]

I switched to Affinity from Adobe and one of the features you don't have which drives me nuts (& I see from all the posts on the internet that I'm not the only one) is the ability to automatically set the grid to divide the image by percentages rather than having to do complicated calculations to work out where the centre of the image is to align things like text boxes. In Adobe I can set the grid to automatically divide the image grid to 50% or 25% or 30% or whatever I need to find particular points on the image for easy alignment. When are you going to fix this and add that capability? Please - I need this in almost everything I design! Thanks.

Welcome to the forums @RayKymS

Have you looked at Column Guides?

They allow you to divide the page/artboard/etc. into columns/rows of the same size when you don’t use the gutter.
It’s not by percentage but, for example, 4 columns = 25%.

Have you checked the Advanced mode of the Grid options?
You can e.g. set the axis spacing to the width of your image and then simply add as many divisions as you need.
