Beautiful! Well done. Just what I was looking for and not too much more. Saved enough time to even write a thank you note.

[@supernrdgaming]

this is exactly what I needed for my game. great tutorial!

[@simonmayer5083]

wow thanks man, the "make guides" command saved it for me! always thought I haaaad to go back to indesign ;)

[@RioDeNubes]

So useful. Thank you!
😊

[@sadepennbrook]

I actually have an object outside of my artboard that I'm adjusting separately and I needed a separate grid for it. That's why I used the rectangular grid tool. Kindda sucks that you can't modify it with keyboard commands like a live element. Once it's set, it's set. You have to go back and create a new grid if you didn't like the previous settings.

Thanks man

[@csinclaire1]

Thanks much. This will save me a lot of time!

[@Rustic_Potato]

Is there a way to edit the gird you already made or do you have to make a whole new one each time?

[@matthewward1346]

exactly my question!

[@prithiimpais4586]

Thanks very much .. superbly helpful. much appreciated

[@surabhi6792]

In illustrator latest version there is no option available for normal flat grid.
Can you please help me out in finding it.
TIA

[@ffdd3196]

I had the same problem, and then I realized, by default it doesn’t show all of the tools. At the bottom of the side tools bar you’ll see a button with 3 dots. (It’s the edit toolbar button) Click it and it opens an All Tools menu, find the Rectangular grid tool, and you can drag it back into your main tools for quick access.

Here’s a video on that:
