36 Working with Pages
To create a guide:
• For a horizontal or vertical guide, click on the horizontal or vertical
ruler, respectively, and drag onto the page while fine-tuning the guide
into its position.
Hold down the Alt key before guide creation to produce a
horizontal guide from a vertical ruler and vice versa.
To move, delete and lock guides:
• To move a guide, click and drag it into position with the Pointer Tool.
• To remove a guide, drag and drop it onto the respective ruler.
• To lock the guides and prevent them from being moved, choose
Options... from the Tools menu, click Snapping, and check the Lock
Guides box (or right-click on a ruler).
• To show or hide guides, check or uncheck Layout Tools>Guides from
the View menu.
Drawing scale
You can create scale drawings (such as a house plan or model diagram) by
setting a ratio other than 1:1 between page units and ruler units. For example,
you might wish to set one page inch equivalent to ten (ruler) feet.
Right-click anywhere on your rulers to quickly swap to a different
unit of measurement—the rulers and Transform tab are updated
instantly.
