Hi everyone all of us know the importance of grid snap and constructon snap is to establish drawing with accurate predefined outputs in length or width but when this is activated i do not see the guideline is working why i also need guide line in orthognal (perpendicular) lines 90 degree so what shall i do to make grid snap and guide lines working together ?
and thanks

I have been pleased to find that all the snaps and guidelines are working in 15 when the grid snap is on (which was not true before as I recall). What exactly isn't working?

That makes sense because you are snapping to the grids.
Toggle the grid snap off if you want a random point (guide lines will work while the grid snap is off).
