Guide lines

[Anonymous]

Hi

How do I get in plan view the X and the Y axises to show has guidelines?
I also wonder how I can get The X,Y,Z axises to always wo up in 3D view.
Sometime i need to move big projects to reference point and it is much better to do that in 3D.

Do you mean the grid display?
Shift+G is the default shortcut.

Ah you don't get to see all the guidelines at once any more - not since version 15 when they changed.
You have to activate the guidelines and then select the one you want.

Here is one post I found that talks about the 'new' method.

Also look in the reference manual and on-line help.

Borrowing the thread:

Is it possible to have the guide lines i've made visible all the time? As for now they disappear as soon as i draw, rotate or paste something etc. I want them to show even after an operation. Been drawing a lot in sketchup lately and been using the guide lines there frequently and gotten used to it.

No unfortunately the guidelines will delete once you have completed a command.

The only way you can do it is to have a layer that you can turn on/off as needed and place actual lines in it for your guides.

Make a wish in the wish section and you never no what might happen in future.
