Guide lines
Guide lines are horizontal and vertical lines on the canvas for lining things up, as in Cubism. Moving points snap to them.
Adding them
- Right-click the canvas > Guide Line: a horizontal, vertical, or both lines where you clicked; lines through the canvas center; or lines through the selected vertex (click a mesh or warp point first).
- With the mouse over the canvas: H horizontal, V vertical, G both. Shift+G clears them all.
- Drag out of the rulers on the canvas edges: the top ruler makes a horizontal line, the left one a vertical line.
Drag a line's marker on its ruler to move it; drag it back onto a ruler, or right-click the marker, to delete it.

Guide Line Settings
A table of every line: its type (horizontal or vertical), exact position in pixels, colour and a memo. New Guide Line adds one; Change color of all guide lines recolours them.
Snapping
Dragging mesh or warp points (and placing ArtPath points) lands them on a guide within a few pixels; the guide turns green while a point sits on it. Guides are saved with the model.
