Setting up guidelines
Guidelines are lines that can be placed anywhere in the drawing window to aid in object placement. In some applications, guidelines are
known as guides.
There are three types of guidelines: horizontal, vertical, and angled. By default, the application displays guidelines that you add to the
drawing window, but you can hide them at any time. You can also use objects as guides.
You can set guidelines for individual pages or you can set guidelines for the entire document. For more information about local and master
guidelines, see “Local layers and master layers” on page 261.
You can add a guideline wherever you need one; however, you can also choose to add preset guidelines. There are two types of preset
guidelines: Corel presets and user-defined presets. An example of a Corel preset is one with guidelines that appear at one-inch margins.
User-defined presets are guidelines whose location you specify. For example, you can add preset guidelines that display margins at a distance
you specify or that define a column layout or grid. You can remove guidelines at any time.
Guidelines use the unit of measure specified for rulers. For information about ruler settings, see “To customize ruler settings” on page 495.
