Hi Maren,<br /><br />&gt; Whether guides are visible or not is a document setting in Inkscape,<br />&gt; there's no global default for it.<br /><br />Thank you for your answer. I did not realize that it was a document setting.<br />I see now that Inkscape &quot;remembers&quot; my choice when I save a file.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Pierre
