FR: Freeze Guidelines

Post by PHK »

Now that so many useful enhancements have been added to the Guidelines tool, I hope it is not impertinent to ask for MORE. However, here I go.

I am finding that if I have a sheet with Guidelines and I want to move Stamps around the sheet, often snapping to Guidelines, I have to be careful not to select a Guideline inadvertently and moving the Guideline rather than the Stamp.

Would it be feasilbe to add the functional option to the Guideline tool that would allow users to freeze, or lock, the placement of Guidelines and of course to unfreeze or unlock?
All best,

Hello Phil,

I will have to ask the devs for their opinion on this request!
We will post here when there are any updates from my colleagues.

Kind regards,
Stefan

In fairness, it must be said that there is a technique solution to this problem which is more pronounced when zoomed-out as the mouse is covering more real estate than when zoomed-in. Therefore, if I toggle the Guidelines off,

the conflict is resolved. I can then toggle the Guidelines on for fine-tuning the Stamps placements when zoomed-in.
