Moving guides Designer iPad - tap troubles.


Recommended Posts

According to the help you activate guides (context menu pops up )...

Then tap the guide... 🤔 .... should it change to a dotted red line? Can’t seem to drag it at all. 

The Lock Guides is not active. I’ve tried a tap-drag, a tap then drag, a long tap, a double tap... nothing. No visual feedback, no response at all. Can’t see anything in the Layers studio (I’ve unlocked them all to cover that off).

What am I missing, thanks?

Words are crude implements, difficult to get perfect, easy to get tied in knots with, and often - usually - misunderstood, which is why 'tolarence' is the best word of all.

The word "professional" fits us all - amateur, semi-pro, beginner, advanced, middle, beyond it all, and on....., because professionals are tolerant.

O-ooooooh for flipping ek!! The lock guides needs to be active (have a blue line round it). Confusing or wat!!

Just totally wrong way round surely????

Or wat. Lock guides not active here.😁 There appears to be different results depending on whether you are using Artboards or not. No Artboard gives the dotted red line when creating guide. Artboard does not. Odd behaviour (or wat!)😁

Ha-ha-ha, I don’t feel such a chump now. I think Guides must have been a ‘Friday afternoon coding’ exercise. That or they decided to see who could sneak the most random bit of user experience into the finished app and get away with it. The folks who did the guides won 🙃
