I need guidelines to show on the pasteboard in order to do some edits to a copy of a complex map/chart without copying it into a separate document, but can't figure out how to do this (I could do it in Indesign). There was a forum topic on this several years ago, but it was never answered satisfactorily. I do have things set up so that objects are visible on the pasteboard. Probably some simple thing I'm overlooking.

Is everything on the map/chart on one page of the document?

If so, you could add the guidelines to that page & use the Duplicate feature to create a new page with the same content so you could edit the copy on that page....

That would work, though I don't know where I'd put the duplicated page (this is in the middle of a 400-page book), but your suggestion made me think of what should have been an obvious solution: I copied the object (chart/map) to the pasteboard, then added the necessary guides on the document page and made my edits there. I simply wanted to have an original version of the object for reference. I was so used to using guidelines on the pasteboard in Indesign for doing this kind of thing.
