InDesign / Illustrator – Modular Document Grid System Integration

Learn how to create separate modular document grids for both InDesign and Illustrator and how to link to these from your core InDesign document.

For the demonstration I’m using the A3 Presentation Grid System I created for Adobe InDesign. This includes document, baseline and modular grids for InDesign. It also includes the separate grid systems for InDesign and Illustrator described in this video.

This video describes some of the benefits of grid system integration with a brief tutorial on setting up and linking to separate InDesign and Illustrator grid systems.
