Notes
• Dynamic guides also appear when you use the keyboard arrow keys to move objects. When
you move objects in this manner, however, dynamic guides do not “snap-to” other objects.
• When you drag or resize an object that’s on a popover, dynamic guides appear only for the
popover and other objects on the popover. When you drag or resize an object outside a
popover, dynamic guides appear only for the popover and objects outside the popover. See
Working with popovers on layouts.
