Controlling Layer Guides

July 25, 2010 - 4:53 PM Permalink

Ruler guides or "layer guides"  are layer-specific: When you create them (Layout > Ruler Guides), they appear on whatever layer is selected at that moment. To hide, show, or lock ruler guides by layer, go to the Layers panel and double-click a layer. The Layer Options dialog pops up, and now you can turn the relevant options on and off.

When using "Guides" you may want to look at creating their own layer for them, the same as with master pages.
