VectorCat Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 No delete for guides on iPad. Just hide them or drag them off the page.🙂 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Pretty sure you can select a guide line, and just click the bin icon… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

VectorCat Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 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!

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… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Mudditt Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 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.

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.

VectorCat Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 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. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
