Snap to Grid and Visual Sizing Increments Customizable and Tied Together

[DanialR]

Sizing visuals and getting consistent white spaces takes time in Power BI Desktop. Let's make it easier for every one!

Allow a Custom Grid size that is also tied to Custom Sizing for visuals. At the Report Page level, provide an option for a Custom Grid size in pixels. Within the Snap to Grid customization allow the Visuals to be tied to the grid size. If I set my grid size to 5px, then I can only move visuals up/down or left/right on 5 px intervals using drag If I turn on Visual Snap to Grid, then I can only resize my visuals in increments of 5 px using the visual control handles. If I want something other than the grid, I can still manual enter the values in the formatting pane. As an added capability, give options to turn on Show Visual Sizes & Show Visual Spacing. These would turn on a button or menu option. When selected, the visuals get an overlay with the height/width of each visual and the spacing between the nearest visuals plus canvas borders horizontally and vertically.

+1 to this idea. When I transitioned from a Tableau to Power BI, this was one of the first things I missed from Tableau.

Definitely needed. Our team currently spends a lot of time getting visual alignment right
