Title: One other Visio Question (about guide lines)
Post by: kagliostro on January 23, 2017, 03:40:42 pm

There is a way to cancel all the guide lines at one time without to have to select it one by one ??

I don't mean hide, I mean cancel as they were never inserted on the work

Thanks

Franco

Thank you for posing the question. It made me search through the menus until I found the answer. I have often wanted to do exactly that but rather than spend the time to learn how, I would just delete them one at a time. Now it's just a couple clicks away! I use guides extensively when designing a board layout or schematic. In fact, I use guides in most every drawing I do. Even my sprinkler system, flower bed, or garden layouts!   :laugh:

I used Autocad and the use of Construction Lines (the Guide Lines of Visio) is very common and indispensable if I can say

So very often happens I've a massive quantity of Guide Lines on and it was a pain to select it one by one to cancel

Thanks again

you can add the guides to a layer. that way you can then make the layer visible, not visible or, delete the layer. i usually add two layers for guides - h-guide and v-guide. start by attaching one horz. guide and one vert. guide to a layer(s) and then just copy it from then on with ctl+left mouse. sometimes i'll add board guide layers and layers for the machining guides.
