Auto-Layout -> Make a Grid

I love the Auto-layout feature but is a pity that I need to choose between horizontal or vertical. Why not both?

My suggestion is an option inside Auto-Layout called Grid that would allow me to choose the amount of columns and rows and create a grid using a smart layout.

That would be a nice feature. However, i’d say there should be auto rows and columns, so they are not fixed. see: css grids

They have this in XD, and it’s great. I switched from XD to Figma, and overall, Figma is better. But I do miss that feature (and being able to move layers inside instances)

I’d really love to see this, it would help a lot with layer hygiene. It also aligns closer with the way things are actually built in code, as elements in html and flex box are able to wrap.

If there is a beta or even an alpha, I’ll be happy to join in to test!

Yes, a grid option would be fantastic for autolayout!

I would love this for the simple reason of making component sets more manageable. Adding variants after the fact is a PITA when you have to resize the border all the time. It would be soooooo convenient if the component set could expand/shrink dynamically.
