Is there a way to define the gap size of the gridify feature?

"Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and press arrow keys to change the spacing between the frames."

If I were wearing a hat I would take it off to you.

I had been looking as I knew it had to be there somewhere.

Thank you Sir.


It would be nice to be able to define the space numerically.

Uh – if you had a hat, you could put it back on… I'm still on CS4, so for me it's shift+arrows to adjust the gaps. I can see the total size of any frame I drag, but it doesn't tell me how much of it is gap! I don't see a relation with the usual cursor nudge distances either (as defined in Preferences > Units & Increments).

We jumped from CS3 to CS5 here so this is kind of new to me, I just figured out how to change polygons with some keyboard finger ballet.

The gap is defined by the current page's column gutter (see Layout > Margins & Columns). Obscure, I know… I agree that there should be a more clear way to do it.

Thank you for that David, that is kind of obscure, there is a sort of logic to it but its fuzzy.

Once again thanks Jongware too.
