Guide Lines

Hi Jeff!

Have you tried this?

To remove a guide: If you've created a drawing guide that you no longer want to use, just click and drag it on top of an existing guide, and it'll disappear.

Let me know if that works for you!

Thanks,

Christine

Christine, you're always there for me  
thanks so much!  

Anytime, Jeff!

Have a great one!

Christine

Please suggest how to delete extra guide lines in storyline 2

Hi Shahab,

If you've created a drawing guide that you no longer want to use, just click and drag it on top of an existing guide, and it'll disappear.

Hope that helps and you can read more about guidelines and grids here. 

right click on them and press delete.
Good day to you,
Jeff Sale

Thanks for your suggestion but Its not working......

Hi Shahab,

Which part isn't working for you? Are you able to drag and drop on another guideline and have it disappear based on that or using the option that Jeff shared? 

Drag and drop top side the guide line and disappear guideline  

Hi Shahab,

Can you tell us what occurs when you use that method? Or perhaps share a screencast of the behavior? It is fairly exact and has to be dropped on the particular guideline in question - but I'm able to do so consistently. 

sometimes, I lost one of my guideline, sometimes the horizontal one, sometimes the vertical one, and I can not bring them back, if anyone ever experienced something like this?

Hi Cipto,

I've seen them go "missing" when they've been moved off screen - but not gone for ever. Have you tried zooming out while in slide view editing to see if they're just out of range? Also, there is a bit more information about using the grid and guidelines here. 

Good morning. 

I lost my vertical guide a few days ago. I've zoomed out to 10 percent and still no vertical guide. I've unchecked the options on Grids and Guidelines and rechecked, still no vertical guide. Any other suggestions? I'm a bit lost without it!

Thanks.

(ps - I went ahead and opened a ticket. I'll post when I get a response.)

Hey Cheryl!

Sorry to hear that. I just responded to your case, so check your e-mail and let me know how/if that works for you :)

It's fixed! Recap:

- I wasn't seeing "Add new vertical guidelines" on a right click, only the horizontal

- Leslie suggested importing slides into a new project or a repair. The import worked. I have two verticals and two horizontals now.

Information on import:

 Information on repair:

You don't realize how you come to rely on features like that. Thanks so much, Leslie!

So glad this fixed it for you Cheryl :)

Thanks for popping in to keep the community informed as well!

Hi!

I need to put guide lines to exact position, like -21 and I cannot find the answer how to do it. Dragging is not a solution, as I can drag the lines only by 5px. Could you help me with that?

Thanks in advance,

PJ

Hi PJ!  Thanks for reaching out.  What version of Storyline are you using?  We've made some improvements to our object editing in Storyline 360 that might be helpful for you. 

Also, when you drag a guide line, it should move one pixel at a time, as well as display the x or y value.

I'm happy to try to noodle with you on how to get the lines to work for you!

Hi Crystal! I am sorry, I've forgot to mention, that I am using Articulate Storyline 2 and the option of moving one pixel at a time doesn't seem to be avilable, but maybe I just can't find option to change it?

Hi Patrycja,

The Grids and Guides window will allow you to adjust the spacing of the grid setting to 2 pixels. Since you're looking for -21, not -20 or -22, you'll need to create a custom grid line for more precision.

Try drawing a link on your slide, and right click to open the Size and Position window. From there, adjust the vertical setting to -21 from Center.

You can also put this line on the slide master so it will appear on all slides. Then, when you're ready to publish, you can hide or delete the line.

I seem to be the master of mysterious behaviour! But here goes with the latest 'weird' stuff....

I created a new vertical guide.  It appeared to the right of the slide and had slightly blue colour.  

I then dragged this new guide to where I wanted it to be and it disappeared!  I thought I must have made a mistake, or dropped it on another guide.  NOPE!  It is gone.  And so are the 20 others I have tried since.... Vertical and Horizontal....

Here is the video if you are interested:

It seems (and I discovered this while recording) that any messing about with guides whilst "EDITING STATES" is the cause of this... Which is not very helpful.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for taking the time to record that helpful video! I'm seeing exactly the same thing you're seeing, so you're not alone. Thanks so much for reporting this to us. I'll share it with my team so we can begin looking at next steps. 

Until we have a fix in place, hopefully you can avoid adding new guide lines while also editing a state. We'll keep you posted on our progress!
