Question

Auto Layout Grid columns are not snapped to pixel grid


Muhammad_Hamza
Selected container has decimal width because of Auto Layout Grid

I’ve applied the Auto Layout Grid mode to the parent layer of the selected container. That container is set to fill to be adjusted with the grid applied. It should be snapped to pixel as the Layout Guide is snapped to pixel while it is not. I’m setting up grid system for a design system and this is super important because the content within the selected container will always remain in decimals if this isn’t snapped to a pixel. Is there anything that I’m missing or doing wrong?

Hiya ​@Muhammad_Hamza - thanks for providing the screenshot and the details on your autolayout/grid placement.

I’ve forwarded your thread over to our engineering team that works on grids to see if they had guidance I could provide you. There are still ongoing discussions surrounding this at the moment. I will update you as soon as I learn more.

Just a quick note: Fiugma is heading into a holiday tomorrow (7/4), so responses may be delayed. Thank you for your patience!

Update: I spoke with a couple of engineers that focus on grid behavior, and in your case, this is actually expected functionality. We do acknowledge that auto layout and layout grid act separately in a way that is making it a bit more difficult to work with, but since I brought it up internally, the teams discussing what can be done to address this in the future.

While I wasn’t able to provide you a simple response, I hope that least clears this up.
