Hi all,
I'm having a tough time figuring out the guides and snaps. I want to insert a guide or construction line that snaps on to existing lines of geometry but when I place a guideline horizontal or vertical, I cant get it to snap to any lines i want. Are there any videos on this tool. Use to other software doing what i want. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Jeff

Re: guides and snaps....
What is it you're trying to by placing guidelines? It may well be that there is another tool that will do the job more precisely. People often look to do the things the same way they are used to in other software they've come from.
You can access the snap options by pressing F4. Note that geometry snaps to guides not the other way around.
Personally in all the years I've been using the Vectric software I've never had a need to use the guides. All the drawing and movement tools allow you to place objects precisely without needing a guide.
