    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.

    Have the ability to place multiple files in Illustrator, and with the "place gun" (the pointer with the 1/# on it), be able to hold modifier keys to create an easy grid of the imports, like the function in InDesign! (Highly recommend this for both Illustrator and Photoshop).

  2. Adding 'Gradient Feather' function similar to InDesign would be great.
