Hi again, Oh the subject of guides -- would it be possible to put a Duplicate button in the Guide dialog? For example, you have a guide at some non-vertical, - horizontal, or -60 degree guide, and you need several of them. It would be much easier to click duplicate, and slide the guide over, than to drag out another one, rotate it, and set it in place. Just another thought. Is it do-able?
Thanks again, brynn

Hi Friends, Would it be possible to have guides by layers? I mean, so that when you hide a layer, the guides for that layer are hidden. And a different layer can have different guides? Since layers are just special groups, I'm guessing it would not be possible. Because guides are a document property, they're made to be displayed across both groups and layers. I'm often wishing I could have distinct sets of guides. For example, on one layer, I have a large star or circle, with guides set up that center on the star or circle . So it's a set of radial guides. But on another layer, I might need guides in a rectangular arrangement. Without any way to have distinct sets of guides, when I make my guides visible, sometimes it's almost like a nightmare! For example, see attached a screenshot of a file I've been working on. And that's one of the more manageable files, as far as guides. (yes, I changed them to red) So I wonder if there could be such a thing as "guide profiles" or "guide sets".....that could be individually hidden or visible. (not that I could actually write an extension, but I might request one, if it's possible).
Thanks for comments, brynn
