USING GUIDE LINES

Guide lines are set relative to objects and then other objects are set relative to the guide lines. To set the horizontal guide line relative to the centre of a circle, select the circles menu by clicking on it with the right mouse button then select the 'set guide' option and then select the 'centre y' option. You will see the horizontal guide line redrawn to cut the circle in half. To set the vertical guide line relative to the left of the circle, again select the circles menu, then the 'set guide' option and then the 'left' option.

To aline another object to the circles horizontal centre, select the objects menu by clicking on it with the right mouse button then select the 'align to guide' option and then select either the 'top', 'bottom' or 'centre y' option. To aline the object to the circles left edge again select the objects menu, then the 'align to guide' option and then either the 'left', 'right' or 'centre x' option.
