Frozen Guidelines

[Kane Rogers]

Has anyone ever had guidelines freeze in XaraX? Suddenly I can't manipulate them once I've dragged them onto the drawing. I've checked the Properties in the Layers dialogue, hunted through everything and cannot find a fix. The only way to change a guideline is to delete the layer and drag a new one onto the screen. Any ideas?

Thanks and best regards,

Kane

Are both boxes checked on the Guides layer in the Layers Gallery?

Yes, both boxes in the left column, and in the layer properties dialogue as well.

Thanks,

This question comes up fairly often.

This will happen if the Magnetic Snap Radii are set to zero.

You can find the setting in Utilities -> Options -> Mouse
