Nic727 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hi, Is it possible to select multiple guides and move them at the same time? It's a very good feature from Illustrator and I have difficulty doing this in Designer. Thank you qbenguy, AndyQ and pdt256 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 7, 2018 Staff Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hi Nic727, No, it's not possible to move multiple guides at the same time. There will be quite a few improvements to grid and guides in the next version but i don't think this will be included (i may be wrong here). I'm moving this thread to the Feature Request section. qbenguy 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Chappell Bates Art Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Being able to select multiple guides and also to be able to rotate guides - it's something I use every day in AI so it would be a valuable addition!

.: NICKY G. :. Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Dear Affinity friends, this post is dated 2018, today version 2.0 of the suite was released and there have been no improvements regarding the guides. Honestly it's one of the things (few I should say, but the few that still make me give up on Illustrator, and believe me I hate Illustrator since day one after switching from Freehand MX). Honestly, I find the management of the guides and this panel very inconvenient and perhaps useless (but really a lot). I also want to understand the usefulness that having a panel with a list of all the values of the guides could give, and as long as they are few it is manageable but when they start to be many how do we manage it? I have memorized 30 guides, I would like to figure out the X guide on the artboard what value it corresponds to in the guides panel to be able to move it, well I can't figure it out.!!!! I believe that the guides (as happens in that damned Illustrator) should be selectable, highlightable (even more than one as the other user suggested) and movable from the transform panel in the XY axes. Or if I click on the value list in the guide panel, the guide on the corresponding table should be highlighted (but to understand which guide I'm changing the values for. (before changing the value, because I could select the wrong guide) If I have a path created with a particular shape and I would like to transform it into a guide, could I do it? I do not think. I think this section needs to be reviewed a lot. How the guides panel should be immediately selectable (not only from a key command that has not been assigned), but also from a button in the toolbar, or by double-clicking on a guide... For me Affinity Designer has incredible potential compared to ALL the competition, but many things should be reviewed, simplified, standardized, improved...

Intuos5 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Yeah, shift selecting guides should be possible from within the menu: You have to move the mouse a lot to delete multiple guides individually. Removing all is too course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
