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.

OK. So what will I use the "Remove all guide lines" command to since they all disappear as soon as i draw a new line?

You might want to remove them all before you complete your command and possibly place them again.
You can also right mouse click on a single guide line to remove just that one.

I'd like guidelines to remain when you go up / down a storey. Would be easier than turning trace ref on and off or copying / pasting an actual line.

"Place them again" - Think You lost me there. Can i turn them off, draw a line and turn them on again?

What I meant was you can remove all the guide lines if there are too many or they are in the wrong positions. Then you can generate just the guide lines you need.

In earlier versions guide lines used to just pop up all over the place and you could easily end up with too many.
Now you only activate the guide lines you need so there is probably no need to remove them.


You can turn the guides off before you draw your line but of course you won't have them to help you place the line.
Turning them back on afterwards won't bring back the earlier guide lines because they would all have been deleted once you completed your line.

There is a wish that has just been made relating to permanent guide lines.
Add your vote there if you haven't already.
