I’d be more in favor of a new feature request topic getting created. This topic starts with a lot of discussion and explanation of alternative approaches.
I’ve gone ahead and drafted two different feature requests based on some of the discussion from the topic above. Please be sure to cast your vote(s) to help us better understand the level of interest.

Ability to define how many tiles wide a dashboard is
Instead of defining the approximate Tile Size and then letting things flow to the new row whenever the tile reaches the end of the row, this would have you define how many tiles ‘wide’ you wanted the dashboard to be and would resize things accordingly to fit.Feature Request: Scalable dashboards - fixed number of tiles wide

A fixed ‘canvas’ design
More of a completely redesign of how dashboards are designed. Rather than laying out tiles left-to-right top to bottom and using spacers to achieve visual whitespace between tiles, this would be more like a canvas where you could place tiles where you want. This would be a significant effort, but does have some unique advantages.Feature Request: Fixed Canvas Layout for Dashboards
