Is there a way to remove, as in to delete, from a document guides and margins I set, but which I no longer need?

I can see how to hide the guides and the margins, but not how to remove guides and margins, from a document.

Thank you in advance.

For the margin, look in the documen tset up, you should be able to set them to 0.

For the guide, at least on the desktop, you can delete all the guides in the Guides manager.

No delete for guides on iPad. Just hide them or drag them off the page.🙂

Pretty sure you can select a guide line, and just click the bin icon…

not on my iPad, I can’t.

Hmmm, don’t have my iPad on me right now, but I’m sure I was able to do something along those lines… if you tap an hold on a guide to bring up ‘delete’ in a series of options 🤷🏻‍♂️

Works for me. Touch/hold on a guide, and it highlights as a dash-dotted magenta line, and the Context bar appears, where Delete is one of the options.

I’m trying this right now. made a new document, made a horizontal and a vertical guide. they now appear as blue lines. when I tap and hold on either line, I get none of the options you mention. Guides are visible and unlocked.

Designer 1.10.1, iPad OS 15.02

when I tap and hold with either arrow, I see a blue dot, registering my tap and hold. when I release I get the standard Deselect - Copy - Cut - Paste, but none of these choices affects the guides.

thank you!

Perhaps it's an iPadOS 15 issue? There have been others.

I was using the new Designer Beta (1.10.2/1.10.16) when I tried it, but I'm only on iPadOS 14.8. You might try the Beta, which has fixed at least one issue related to iPadOS 15.

Works in the Beta, Walt, as you suspected. I noticed instantly when I made guides (in the beta) the appearance of the trash can on the guides panel. I don’t see the trash can in the non-beta version.

Guess I’ll have to wait for the devs to go fetch the Flit…

Closing the document which has the auto guides added then auto guides hidden will reappear when you reopen the document was reported couple of years back.

well then, that does make it more curious, doesn’t it? I immediately tried the same thing in my non-beta version and did not see the trash can, and was not able to transform a blue guide into it’s red dotted, trashable form.

With today’s update, I can now delete guides. the trash can on the guides toolbar appears as soon as you create your first guide.

Huge help. Thank you to the devs for addressing this.
