View Layout Grid w/ View Only Access

When reviewing designs with developers I’m often referencing the layout grid I’m using in the designs, but if the developer has ‘view only’ access they are unable to see the layout grid in the inspect tool. We have been trying to limit edit access to only designers as we have many developers (30+) inspecting our files.

I’d love it if the layout grid was viewable in ‘View Only’ mode in the inspect tool 🙂 It would help bridge the gap between developers and designers even more 🙂

Even Shift+G doesn’t work to show grid in View Only. Tested in multiple browsers 😦

It would be a great addition to the new dev mode!

Our devs are asking us if there is a way, with viewer access, to see which layout grid is being used on a frame. It doesn’t look like this is possible with viewer-only. Can we add this feature to their access level or at least get them full access?

While shift-G shows the grid, it would be valuable to see the numeric measurements (column count, grid gap and margin measurements).
