Guide Lines

Hi, I'm haveing a problem with my ArchiCAD 10 and can not figure it out - HELP please!

I was in the middle of working on a project that I have been working on for a few days and all the sudden my guide lines stopped working, I was using the wall tool.
I went to the "view" menu, and then "guide line options", thinking I some how turned them off but all the options in the "guide line options" menu are grayed out. I also rebooted the computer, that didn't work either. I also closed that project and opened a new one and same problem, I searched Help but nothing is working!

Any ideas?

Thanks alot!

If I recall correctly, the fix for this is reapplying your work environment. You may need to apply the standard WE then change back to the one you were using.

If this doesn't work perhaps someone else has an idea.

Danielle,
It seems like you had just turned your guide lines off.
When they are off all their settings in the work environment are greyed out.
Turn it back on via the menu of toolbar button if you have one set up.
Or go into the work Environment and turn them on there.
It isn't very clear that the icon in the top left is actually a button untill you drag your mouse over it.
Barry.
