Using guides
You can drag horizontal and vertical guides from the rulers onto the Stage when the rulers are
displayed. You can move guides, lock guides, hide guides, and remove guides. You can also snap
objects to guides, and change guide color and snap tolerance (how close objects must be to snap
to a guide). Draggable guides appear only in the Timeline in which they were created.
You can clear all the guides in the current editing mode—document-editing mode or symbol-
editing mode. If you clear guides in document-editing mode, all the guides in the document are
cleared. If you clear guides in symbol-editing mode, all the guides in all symbols are cleared.
To create custom guides or irregular guides, you use guide layers. See “Using guide layers”
on page 32 .
To display or hide the drawing guides:
•
Select View > Guides > Show Guides.
Note: If the grid is visible and Snap to Grid is turned on when you create guides, guides will snap to
the grid.
To turn snapping to guides on or off:
•
Select View > Snapping > Snap to Guides.
Note: Snapping to guides takes precedence over snapping to the grid in places where guides fall
between grid lines.
To move a guide:
•
Use the Arrow tool to drag the guide.
To remove a guide:
•
With guides unlocked, use the Arrow tool to drag the guide to the horizontal or vertical ruler.
For information on locking and unlocking guides, see the following procedure.
