Provide the user with assistance when trying to create a collage of objects. There are two types of Guides:

  • Guide Lines

  • Smart Guide Lines

The user can display/hide these features by checking/unchecking the boxes in the View menu. By default, both boxes will be checked.

This feature allows the user to place static horizontal or vertical lines on their project to assist with measuring pixel distance or object placement. To start using the Guides, place your cursor near the edge of either ruler and a green line should appear. Then you are able to drag this line to your desired location.
