      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.

      Though it’s a very old post, but the comment from David Blatner really helped me a lot.

      I created a new document with 2 columns (gutter was 30 mm) and tried gridify feature to make some text frames. Unfortunately the gaps between those frames were pretty large and I couldn’t find the reason, which made me so frustrated.

      Special thanks to Master David. You’re awesome :)

        You’re welcome Tamzid! I’m glad that helped. Happy InDesign-ing!
