How do I use Rulers and Guides?
Selecting the Rulers command on the View menu toggles horizontal and vertical rulers
at the top and left edges of each drawing window. The ruler labels display the (+/-) dis-
tance from the origin in Arena world units. The spacing between the ruler labels is based
on the snap spacing, with the labels rounded to the nearest snap point if Snap to Grid is
enabled.
When the Guides command (View menu) is activated, you may add guides into the
application window to aid in positioning shapes precisely. You may either drag them from
the horizontal or vertical ruler edges independently or drag them simultaneously from the
origin corner. If you select a guide, you may drag it to a new position, or you may remove
it by pressing Delete.
Activating the Glue to Guides command (View menu) allows you to drag a shape (mod-
ule or drawing object) to a guide until the shape selection handle turns red (as shown in
the circled callout of the example), which indicates that the shape is “glued” to the guide.
The guide may then be dragged to a new location and all shapes glued to the guide will
maintain their alignment and will move with the guide.
