Making guides

Guide rulers are simple to use but their applications are endless. They can be used in combination with a grid to mark the margins of a document, to find the center of a canvas, or to align design elements such as different layers of text and illustrations.

Guides work like the Line ruler sub tool, but a guide can only go straight horizontal or straight vertical on the canvas. Follow these steps to make guidelines on your canvas:

1. Click on the Figure category in the Tool bar.
2. Click on the Ruler sub tool category.
3. Click on the Guide sub tool.
4. Click on the canvas and drag either horizontally or vertically, depending on in which direction you want your guide to go.
5. When the mouse button is released, the guide will be made.
