Moving objects to the guides layer

For Drawing documents you can create objects in the guides layer exactly as on other layers.

You can move or copy existing objects to the guides layer using Cut-Copy-Paste. Pasting using CTRL+Shift+V (see Pasting objects from the clipboard) pastes the object in the same position it was Cut/Copied from (if the object was Cut or Copied in Xara X).

To create an object in the guides layer

1. From the Utilities menu, choose Layer Gallery.

2. Click on the guides layer. (See Creating the guides layer if there is no guides layer.)

3. Create the object as normal.

Tips

When objects are created in the guides layer or moved to it, only a dotted outline is shown.

Move To Layer in Front and Move to Layer Behind skip over the guides layer. See Moving objects between layers.

Guidelines and guide objects are non-printing.
