@samacom: Isn’t there a checkbox in the MakeGrid dialog box. (Look at the dialog box in the image at the top of the blog post above.)

@samacom: The only way to adjust the gutters would be the Gap tool (new in CS5). And that only works on one column or row at a time. If you think you will need to adjust the spacing, it is probably better to disable “Delete Original Object” so you can keep the original on the pasteboard or on a hidden layer, ready to convert again.

This script and way to find it really saved me a lot of time and effort. Thank you so much. However, I´ve got a question for you; when I´m done making the grid how can I go back to dialog box and adjust sizing of boxes and space (gutter?) between them after closing the dialog box once…?

After creating the separate grid frames, if you want guides just keep them selected and run the ‘AddGuides’ script.

@Chien: I wrote this elsewhere in reply your question, too: I don’t know any way to select multiple inline objects. It is a frustrating limitation.

Can you tell me, how to select multi inline graphics in a file. Maybe have some plugins to solve this problem?
Thanks

Well, I guess you could do it that way. I’ve always just used the Distribute command with zero space between.

Create a square (with NO STROKE; a stroke will offset the distribute), copy it horizontal for the number of columns you want, and then Distribute with zero space.
Group that row.
Copy the row vertically for the number of rows you want and then distribute with zero space.
Group the whole mess.
Now you can scale it to your heart’s desire and then give it whatever stroke and fill you want.
