Smart Guides

[stewart_whaley 6]

Allow the creation of what could be called, "Smart Guides". The difference with regular guides is iff something is 'snapped' to this new type of guide when the guide moves any snapped object(s) would move with the guide.

This could in many cases be unexpected and a lot unpleasant, if you also moved the wrong objects.
Rather, it would be advisable to specify which objects should be attached to the guide permanently, and then move with it.

If you don't want the 'wrong' objects to move then you do not 'snap' them to the proposed, "Smart Guide".

Even if I need to place them in the same place?

Then you use a regular guide. And if you happened to have used a proposed, "Smart Guide" and objects moved that you didn't want to when you moved the guide then CTRL-Z.
