One other Visio Question (about guide lines)

[kagliostro]

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

If you ever find it, please let me know.

OK Steve

I'll say you, if I find how do it

Seems that we have to wait a bit before

Here's your answer...

Select --> Select by Type --> Shape type --> Check only guides --> click OK --> Press Delete key

I tried it and ..... 


Many Thanks Steve


Very useful tip


Franco


p.s.: In italian is


(Menù) Modifica > Seleziona per tipo ... > Selezionare Guide > OK > (Premere) Cancella

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!

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.
