Snapping to guides
QuarkXPress lets you create a “magnetic field” around guides so that when you
drag an item close to a guide, it automatically aligns with it. This feature is
called Snap to Guides (View menu) and the width of the magnetic field is called
the Snap Distance.
To control snapping with QuarkXPress controls, make sure View > Snap to
Guides is checked. To specify the distance, choose QuarkXPress/Edit >
Preferences > Print Layout > Guides & Grid and enter a pixel value in the Snap
Distance field.
You can also choose View > Snap to Page Grids to force items to align with the
master page grid. The value in the Snap Distance field applies to master page
grids as well. For more information, see “Snapping items to design grids.”
Dynamic Guides
Dynamic Guides are nonprinting temporary guides that appear when you create
or manipulate items on a page. They help you align items relative to other items
and to the page in a layout. You can specify the type of dynamic guides and the
feedback that appears.
When you create, transform or move an item, Dynamic Guides automatically
appear to assist in positioning the new item relative to an existing item or to the
page.
Choose View > Dynamic Guides > Show/Hide Dynamic Guides to turn guides on
or off.
You can change when and how Dynamic Guides appear by using the View >
Dynamic Guides sub-menu to select the following options:
Select Align to Center of Item to display guide lines that are generated when ●
the center of items are aligned with the center and/or edges of other items.
These are generated when you create and move items.
