  1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this

    When you create an autolayout frame, it always defaults to 10px. Many design systems call for an 8px grid and in many cases, users don’t want ANY padding especially where edge-to-edge designs are concerned.




  2. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation

    What are everyone’s thoughts about the following solutions?:





  • Default autolayout padding based on the big nudge amount in your settings

  • Allow for tokenization of padding/margin grids and offer up autolayout parameters based upon those tokens

  • Allow users to override the padding to 0px at the creation of the autolayout frame by using an alternative key command like ctrl+shift+a (command on mac)

+1 for 0 padding


+1 for 0 padding


0px please!!!


+1 for 0px padding

omg pleaseeeeee stop making me delete 10px 10px 10px all day long. Please.


Hey All, thanks for the feedback and sorry for the lack of acknowledgement here!


We’ll pass this onto the team for future consideration.


let me choose what the default auto layout spacing is, and let this default setting work with variables so i can link it to a specific pre-defined spacing variable


+1 for 0 as default and being able to define (like with nudge amount)


+1 for 0px padding! I kept thinking I messed up some default setting this whole time.
