multi choice guideline

Am trying to teach myself the guide line system......now am wondering why the blue multichoice guidelines always terminates at the project origin. No matter where I click along an element to start it, the line always shoots accross the work space to the project origin. Irritating.

Also, the nice x and y guidelines with the x and y notation and angles don't show up like they do in the tutorials.

Have you watched the videos about Guide Lines on the GS YouTube Channel?
They explain pretty much all aspects of Guide Lines:

Or here is Eric Bobrow's video about AC15 Guide Lines:

Yeah, watched them all. Problem was that multichoice lines and x and y axis lines were not showing up. Called tech support....they suggested I "clean preferences" as described in ArchCAdiwiki. Once I did that, everything showed up.
Apparently, something got screwed up during migration from AC 14. Was happy they were able to resolve the problem.
