It’s called MakeGrid.jsx and it’s installed by default in CS3. I emailed it to my client the next day and everyone was happy.įortunately for all of us, Ole is also the script guru on the InDesign team and he liked the script so much that he added it to the sample scripts that ship with the program. But when I returned home I asked my co-author Olav Martin Kvern, and he wrote up a quick script for it.

I was stumped (sure, they could use Step and Repeat, but it’s not easy to figure out the math). Back in the QX days, they used an XTension (from Visions Edge, I think) to convert any frame into a grid of objects. I was training some newspaper folks at a big paper a couple hours from here and they wanted to know how to make a grid of objects on their page. I’m shocked because I like to take partial credit for this feature existing. I was absolutely, positively sure we covered this sometime over the last few years, but I must have been dreaming it because even google can’t find it. How can I divide a graphic frame into equal parts… like making four equal squares inside a larger square?
