  2. Place multiple files in a grid like InDesign (Gridify)

    InDesign has a very nifty feature that I would like to see in Illustrator; if you press the arrow keys while placing multiple files at once, you can create a "grid" of said files. Depending on the job I'm working on, I have to place hundreds of files at once... Having this feature would streamline a lot of my projects.

    Illustrator allows this today.

    1. Go to File > Place and choose the files to be placed.
    2. Click and drag on the canvas to define the grid area.
    3. While dragging, hold Opt/Alt to place all files in one gesture with an auto-calculated grid.
    4. For a custom grid layout, while dragging, press arrow keys to adjust rows and columns — Right/Left for columns, Up/Down for rows.

    Known limitations.

    1. Unlike in InDesign, we can’t control the gaps with Cmd/Ctrl + Arrows.
    2. It won’t work for drag-n-drop on canvas. works only with File > Place.
    3. This option works only for placing images, and won’t affect tools like Rectangle — use Rectangular Grid Tool instead.

    Please try how it works and comment back to help the team to polish the feature.
