trinitydesign Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Is there a way to create custom guides that are at angles or can a regular object line or shape be converted into a guide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can draw your own lines, on which you will snapping. 12 hours ago, trinitydesign said: can a regular object line or shape be converted into a guide? If I do not know so.

Staff Callum Posted November 8, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hi Trinity Design, Welcome to the forums It's not possible to have guides at angles I'm afraid. It's also not possible to turn an object into a guide. Thanks Callum Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

trinitydesign Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Seems like a minor over sight to only assume guides will be vert or horiz. Yes, I know I can use "lines" but they then need a stroke to be seen and things get busy... guides are visible all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is more that to keep things simple, guides are implemented as having only a single adjustable parameter, that being either its x or y coordinate, while grids are more complicated & can have several different ones.

MikeW Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I too would enjoy having rotatable guides. I use them in both my font editor and XDP frequently. XDP uses a special guide layer. Any line or objects placed on it are guides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
