SandMagic Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Ipad pro 2017 model. in some instances guides can be placed but neither moved nor erased - they appear permanently locked. i do not recall this being such a problem in previous versions. also, snapping is somewhat chaotic, especially on diagonals 30, 45, 60 degrees snapping ineffectual. hence my need for guides - but they don't work!

There are three different types of guides, normal guides, margin guides and column guides each which can be displayed or hidden independently using the little triangle on the context toolbar. Which ones are you using? Quote My dad always told me, a bad workman always blames their tools…. Just waiting for Ronny Pickering…..

Staff Dan C Posted June 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 17, 2020 Sorry to hear this!

I've attached a screen recording below showing the Guides in action, if you can please provide a screen recording showing your issue, then this would certainly be helpful for us.

SandMagic Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 thanks for the video. so after a week of working on a new file, i reopened the file where guides didn't work. a large file with about 10 artboards. i could not repeat the problem that previously occurred on many occasions. I know, it's odd and frustrating. the bug disappeared, or is it hiding hibernating? so guides are now working...if it happens again I'll start recording immediately before bug escapes again. sorry for the inconvenience, it's a bug's life. I would like to point out that being able to set guide to a fixed angle would be nice... Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
