Nazario Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I have set up a grid manually using guides. If I place some content off the pasteboard to work with later, when I go to click the content the guides disappear. When I check the guides manager they are all gone.

walt.farrell Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 The Guides are specific to the Artboard that you have selected on the workspace or in the Layers panel. When you click on your object that is in the pasteboard, you deselect the Artboard, and so the Guides disappear as you're no longer working with that Artboard. They will reappear once you select the Artboard again by clicking on its name in the workspace, or clicking on it in the Layers panel.

Nazario Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thanks Walt. I understand how they work. After playing a bit more I now have to click the artboard name for the guides to show again. Clicking in or on an element on the artboard doesn't seem to make the artboard active anymore. Pretty sure thats not how it used to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure thats not how it used to be? Clicking on a different element that's in the Artboard still works for me. Clicking on the Artboard itself doesn't, but I'm not sure it ever did.

Could you attach a screen recording (showing the entire screen) of what actions you're taking, along with a demonstration file you've used please?
