skylamar Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I am using Affinity Designer for Mac. In a document, I have numerous artboards. I'd like to add guides to one artboard (I'll call it Artboard B) to match the existing guides of another artboard (Artboard A). However, when I select Artboard B, I can no longer see the guides in Artboard A. So, is there any way to see the guides in Artboard A while Artboard B is selected? If there's no way to see them, is there any way for me to copy and paste the guides from Artboard A to Artboard B? Thanks! Skylamar Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I don't think there's a way to see the Guides on a non-selected Artboard. Nor is there a way to copy/paste them. You might try View > Guides Manager, which will give you a numeric display of their locations. You could then create Guides on the other Artboard at the same locations.

Old Bruce Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Another way is to set the guides on A then duplicate it, the guides are carried over to the copy. walt.farrell 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
