i want OBLIQUE GUIDE LINE

  1. use a regular path instead
  2. turn on any snap-to-nodes/curves/geometry options you need – available in the toolbar with pen or node tool active
  3. put them all on a separate layer, lock it, set its blend mode to multiply
  4. if your want to export or print, disable the guides layer

That's your workaround if you "want OBLIQUE GUIDE LINE" now.

dragging from the ruler like Inkscape

Then use Inkscape if that's the better tool for the job which you want to do.

It's really that simple.™

That all said, it would be nice to have an option for custom guidelines of any shape. Illustrator can convert any path to a guideline, and I've always found it very useful, e.g. having a round guideline when laying out vinyl or CD labels.

I would love to see them do this by giving us a special guidelines layer we could easily add to our documents and anything placed on this layer would automatically be converted to a guidline and this layer would also be automatically set so it did not export or print.  And guides dragged out from rulers could also be automatically on this layer
