Activity Forums Adobe Illustrator Can’t Select Guide

  • Can’t Select Guide

    Posted by Phillr on July 21, 2006 at 8:33 pm

    I added a few guides early in a project in Illustrator CS 2. I started drawing some stuff in illustrator, then realized I had to change my guides. But I can’t select them at all. I try clicking all over the area where I see the guideline, but nothing happens. It turned on/off lock guides, but no effect. I can add extra guide lines and select my new ones perfectly fine. But I just can’t select my initial ones… What’s going on?

    Are all of your layers unlocked? Guides are drawn within the active layer when created – if the layer is locked, it overrides “Unlock Guides.”
