Guidelines

Post by Trox »

I keep running into an annoyance when I edit text and end up flattening it.

The guidelines does not work on flattened text. This is a bit annoying when trying to align things perfectly.

See video bellow for an example.

(if anyone knows how people add videos to their posts on this forum, I am interested in also learning how)

Hello Trox,

The other videos you can see uploaded are usually gifs.

Can you please check under preferences (Ctrl + K) -> Measurements -> Snapping... whether you have the "Cnap to guides" checkbox turned on? As with it turned on for me - I can correctly snap base content objects to guidelines I've just added to a page.
