Switching the axis of a ruler

[TheAlmightyDada]

Hi all,

It's so niggly but I hope there is a solution.

In another photo editor, when I pulled down a ruler from the top, I could hold down 'Alt' and the ruler would flip axis - this was very helpful when working quickly as I didn't have to move all the way to the other end of the screen (a lazy man's problem, I know). 

Also, I would be able to delete individual rulers, at the moment in AP I have to drag them off the canvas (I'm not talking about hiding rulers)

 

Any fixes?

 

Thanks a lot

Do you mean Guides when you say "...  individual rulers, ...". Check View > Guides Manager..., you can delete (and add) guides there.

The flipping axis question has me thinking No, although I am not entirely certain what you are trying to achieve.

Old Bruce! 

You came to my aid again, thank you. I do indeed mean guides, I was not aware of the guides manager - it's a couple more steps but that will work for me (I suppose I could create a shortcut to the Manager?).

I have attached a guide on how it was achieved on the other software below - hopefully, this will clarify what I am trying to accomplish.

Thanks again for your input.
