Rulers, Guides and Grids
in progress

For a design tool Customily is missing a really key component to design which is being able to properly space and align items. All the headache of trying to have multiple things line up and be spaced evenly would be solved with rulers, guides and grids. At the very least there should be a grid. I feel like this would be super easy to implement. A light grey grid instead of just the white background.
If you really want to kick things up a notch I highly recommend a snap to grid or snap to guide function. I spend so much time trying to manually line things up.
The example is from Adobe Illustrator

It’s great to see that alignment guides are already in progress - this is a very welcome and important improvement.
In this context, I’d like to ask whether it would also be possible to consider adding print-production–related guides as part of this enhancement, such as:
-cut / trim lines
- bleed lines
- maybe fold lines (for folded products)
- safe area margins
- crop marks
These types of guides are standard in professional print workflows and would make Customily even more suitable for print-ready designs used in professional printing environments.
Even if they were optional or template-based, this would greatly improve accuracy and help reduce errors in production.
Thanks a lot for the continuous improvements - really appreciated.

Augusto D'Amario Fantastic! There are very few companies that evolve at your pace. Keep it up, it's fantastic!

Since the customer can move an uploaded file around, would it be possible to add this Alignment guides even for them?

Merged in a post:
Guides and / or grids for design canvas

Would be useful to have some type of user defined guidelines and / or a grid pattern as an option on the design canvas for alignment and layout purposes.
