Creating the guides layer

The guides layer is created automatically when you create a guideline using the rulers (see Creating guidelines). If you wish to create objects in the guides layer or move existing objects to the guides layer, you must create it manually. You can only have one guides layer.

Note that you can only create layers in Drawing Documents, not Animation Documents - see Drawing and Animation Documents for more details.

To create the guides layer

1. From the Utilities menu, choose Layer Gallery.

2. Right-click on the Layer Gallery to open the pop-up menu.

3. Choose Create Guides Layer.

Tips

To place objects in the guides layer, click on the guides layer in the Layer Gallery (to make it the current layer) and create the objects as normal. For further details on creating guide objects, see Moving objects to the guides layer.

Guidelines and guide objects are non-printing.

Objects on the guides layer have red, dotted outlines. You can change the outline color. For more details, see Changing the color of guides.
