Pro tip: Stumbled on a Figma plugin that cuts auto-layout tweaks in half

Was messing around with a 12-column grid for a dashboard layout yesterday and kept getting annoyed manually resizing every frame. A buddy in a Slack group told me about Auto Layout Buddy plugin. Honestly it saved me like 30 minutes just setting padding and gap in one go. Anyone else use this or got a faster way to batch apply spacing?

30 minutes on padding and gaps sounds like overkill to me. I just tweak one frame and copy the styles across manually, takes 30 seconds.

Double down on that speed by saving one single frame as a master template with all your padding and gap settings baked in. Copying styles manually works, but I just drag that frame into new projects and all my spacing is already consistent. @grant.kevin, you'd probably save even more time if you tried it once.
