Hello
Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle the (red dotted line) 'Guides' being visible/not visible?
I looked but could find anything.

Hello

can't see anything in customise or menus either, so I guess not...
shipen, try NumPad+1 when the Number Pad is active.
This is a toggle action.

and ctrl+numpad+1 to reveal
darn how did I miss that, probably because it is listed in customise under 'show' and not 'hide' doh
handrawn, my setup has Show Guides - Toggles the 'show guides' state. NUM 1 in the Windows dropdown has a tick action, which means it is a toggle. Ctrl+NUM+1 does not have any action for me.Quote:

Or do something with the Function ("Fn") key?
thanks

Press the key that is labelled Num - a light should come on.
All keypresses on the number pad will now return numbers when these are pressed. With it off it, acts as as extended navigation buttons.
Anyhow, with Num On, all you then do is press the 1 key to toggle Guides.
Numpad+1 is shorthand to say press the 1-key on the number pad when Num is On. You are not pressing the 1-key that is under the Function Keys row.

the numpad refers to the keys on the right - you use 1 on this pad [with numbers set active] - nothing to do with function keys
this is the default if you have xara set to standard keys
edit - acorn beat me to it

Work now.
So, out of interest, where can I find that documented...?
not sure if it is in the manual, acorn may know
back in the day xara used to issue a card with these thing on when it sent out the cd [long time ago]
now you can look in customise key shortcuts in xara utilities menu for what is covered - of course this is a bit like looking up a spelling in a dictionary, you have to know what to look for; I was looking at first for 'hide' and it is actually under 'show' guides...
Top menu > Windows > Show Guides (NUM 1).Quote:
