    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.

    I would really like to have the same feature as in InDesign, with which you can draw multiple shapes/lines/text frames simply clicking up/down and right/left arrows while creating them: it would be extremely useful when creating patterns of any type in Illustrator. See attached example of a "gridified" hexagons sequence in InDesign.
    Please add that!
