Does Figma Have Repeat Grid Like XD?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:37 am

Figma has a lot of great features that help designers be more efficient in their workflows. One feature that many designers are looking for is the ability to create repeat grids.

Adobe XD has a repeat grid feature that allows designers to quickly create multiple instances of an element, and Figma does not currently have this feature. However, there are workarounds that can be used to create repeat grids in Figma.

One workaround is to use the “Duplicate” command (Ctrl/Cmd+D) to create multiple instances of an element. This can be time-consuming, especially if you need to create a lot of instances.

PRO TIP: This warning note is to inform you that the content of the article titled “Does Figma Have Repeat Grid Like XD?” may be out of date or inaccurate. The article may contain information that is no longer relevant to the current version of Figma or XD.

Another workaround is to use the “Array” tool. This tool lets you select an element and then specify how many copies you want to create and the spacing between them. This can be a quick way to create a repeat grid, but it can be tricky to get the spacing just right.

Another option is to use a plugin like “Grid Maker” or “Figma Grid”. These plugins will let you quickly create a repeat grid from an existing element. There are also a few other plugins that offer similar functionality.

So, while Figma doesn’t currently have a built-in repeat grid feature, there are workarounds and plugins that can be used to achieve the same result.
