APub: Move guide(s) from spread to master

[GeirSol]

FR:
I'd like to move guides from spread to master easily.
And be able to move master-guides when editing the spread.

Thanks!

Hello @GeirSol,

there is no way to move guides from a spread to a master page. All you can do is note down their positions and recreate them from scratch.

Alternatively you could place lines exactly where the guides are and copy them in one go from spread to master. Those could be used as 'dummy guides' to recreate the real guides visually. Afterwards you remove those lines.

I am not aware of a way to move master-guides when editing a spread. This could be a feature request.

Thanks for the tip!

I recall a guides layer in the works for a future release.

This would be a very usefull enhancement. Especially if it were possible to place all kinds of vector objects as guides.

This could mean one could copy/paste this layer between documents and potentially from/to master pages or through the edit linked, drag in option.
But yes, using lines as guides is the way to go for now.

This sounds like a good idea.
