Thanks Dan for sharing your feedback.
We don't have support for guides but with the latest MAX release you can access a number of plugins within the XD app. Update XD and download the "GuideGuide" plugin. Checkout more information on XD plugins here. Do share your feedback on the GuideGuide plugin. Thanks
$36 for guides.
$36. For guides.
AHAHAHAAHA... ISSA JOKE
It's $36 for plug-ins that work in, so far, Photoshop, Illustrator, and XD. Think of it as $12 per app. This plug-in has saved me countless hours creating solid layout grids that can't be made through normal guides in ANY app, not just Adobe's.
1) Most of us don't need this plugin to other apps. I don't even use Photoshop/Illustrator, much more prefer Afinity Designer for that kind of work. And I don't see Webdesigners and similar (core XD target) benefiting from this kind of grids outside of their main app. 2) Its 36$ PER YEAR. For a plugin. That makes guides. Sure, offers some more funtionality than the basic guides in Photoshop and Illustrator...but that's not what everyone is asking for. We want BASIC guides in XD. Which should have been implemented years ago. 3) I have around 7-8 blank files with grids that I created over the years...is there a need for more gids?
Hi Selv, thank you for the feedback. If you haven't already, please add your vote here. The team constantly reviews uservoice as they define the roadmap.
I wish you guys would hire the Guide Guide developer or buy out his code and bake his plug-in into the core of EVERY product Adobe makes.
Thank you all for the feedback. I encourage you to add your vote and comments on the request for guides here. The team uses this to help prioritize the roadmap. It is clear from the thread that you're expecting more from us in this area.
I am a big XD lover but this GuideGuide plugin is so far from what we need. This plugin just adds a simple line object which behaves like a simple layer. You can draw a rectangle on top of it and the guide will not be visible anymore. You have to move it back up on top of the layers list. Definitely not very useful. And definitely not something I'd pay $36 for it. I hope you guys see the same issue I see. Anyways, great job on the release. Looking forward for some serious improvements on Symbols. Figma/Sketch are still ahead here, and it's so important for day to day design.
Wait, there's still no guides? Haha
Yes. But you have gestures, so that's cool, right? I mean no one uses guides these days.
Right guys? RIGHT?
