Guidelines is a tool provided to help you position object precisely. The fastest and easiest way to work with this additional tool is with drag-and-drop mechanism. There are 3 tools that belong to guidelines category which can be refered to as guidelines, dynamic guidelines, and grid.
1. Guidelines
Guidelines is an assist line which can be used to facilitate object fixation. Click on ruler (vertical/horizontal ruler) and move the mouse pointer to a location where you want the guidelines reside and release mouse button. With guidelines you can patch object to another object or guideline itself more easily and equally:
The guidelines also can be slanted into a cursive form by rotating horizontal or vertical guidelines. The first step is to determine the actual guidelines you want to rotate. Click on the guidelines twice until a round symbol
and tilted arrow 
appear which are attached to the edge and center of the guidelines. Next, highlight the tilted arrow using your mouse pointer until the pointer changed into a circled-arrow symbol. Press and hold the circled-arrow symbol and begin tilting the guidelines either by moving it to the right or left:
Beside the above-mentioned step, the guidelines can be slanted too in another way by changing the value of angle of rotation on property bar. For example: enter 45 degrees rotation value 
for the guidelines to tilt up to 45 degrees of angle.
Finally, if you want to erase a guidelines, simply click on a guidelines and press Delete button.
2. Dynamic Guidelines
The Dynamic guidelines could be said to acts as a complementary to guidelines which serves to give additional information regarding the movement of object, for example: the distance the object moves from previous position or object movement guidance, so as to better position the object. You can activate or deactivate dynamic guidelines by clicking View menu > Dynamice Guides or press Alt+Shift+D buttons:
*Note: the above picture shows that the object is being dragged to up-right direction for up to 4.25 inches interval and with the inclination at 45 degrees of angle, while the square object on the right side is a final position of object after being moved.
The dynamic guidelines is set in default mode which carry it origin adjusment, for example: angles of inclination set at 0, 45, and 60 degrees, etc. This and other adjustment can be further re-adjusted in case you need to modify its features. Read below instructions:
1. Click View menu --> Setup --> Dynamic Guides Setup to display Dynamic Guides dialog box

1. Click View menu --> Setup --> Dynamic Guides Setup to display Dynamic Guides dialog box
2. Active the following check boxes:
- Dynamic Guides On, to activate dynamic guidelines function
- Angle Screen Tip, to display/hide dynamic guidelines angle marker
- Distance Screen Tip, to display/hide the distance/interval marker
When you check an angle checkbox, a preview of overall dynamic guidelines will be displayed in Guides preview window
5. Active Extend Along Segment checkbox to dynamic guidelines which are extensions of line segments
| Command | Do | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Deactivating tick spacing functionality | Uncheck the Snap to ticks checkbox | ||
| Adding new guideline at customized angle | In Guide area, type-in the degrees value and click add button | ||
| Erasing an existing guideline | In Guide area, check an angle checkbox, and click delete button. Or simply click delete button to delete all angles in sequence | ||
| Displaying all available guidelines | Click Select All button | ||
Grid fills the white page with "nest" to help user position object precisely. This is a third tool in guidelines category that complement or support the other previous two, or rather be used independently. You can activate Grid by clicking View menu --> Grid --> Document Grid. Or click View menu --> Grid --> Grid document once again to hide Grid facility. To modify grid's appearance and features:
- Click View menu --> Setup --> Grid and Ruler Setup to display Options-Grid dialog box
- Modify grid by choosing between frequency and spacing options with which you can determine grids appearance either be based on lines amount per milimeter or length between the paralel lines. Change the value on horizontal or vertical bar to elaborate the modification
- Show grid checkbox enables you to choose between showing or hiding grid. Check the show grid checkbox to show grid and uncheck the checkbox to do the opposite
- Check the snap to grid checkbox to base object's movement on grid
- Check Show grids - as lines checkbox to display grid as lines
- Or, check Show grids - as dots checkbox to display grid as dots
button several times on spesific part of object or spot (location) ro reduce viewpoint, or clicking zoom out 
button to expand overall viewpoint. In addition, you can do drag-and-drop mechanism to forward the zoom-in effect.
to start with. Then press and hold mouse button, and move the pointer to another direction. Release hold if you have located the object.
