Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 379 Two ways to create center guides in Illustrator, part of Deke's Techniques.
- In this movie I'll show you two ways…to create center guides inside Illustrator.…That is guides that cut right through…the center of the document.…Why you'd want to do such a thing is entirely up to you.…I'm just gonna show you how it works.…So the first way is to press ctrl + r…or cmd + r on the mac to bring up the rulers.…And then drag out a horizontal guide,…to any old location, it doesn't matter.…And then drag out a vertical guide to any location as well.…Then press crl+r or cmd+r on a Mac to hide the rulers.…
Unless you want to keep them on screen.…That's entirely up to you.…Then, go up to the view menu, choose guides,…and choose lock guides to turn it off.…So if lock guides doesn't have a check mark in front of it,…don't choose it.…But if it does have a check mark, go ahead and choose it.…Then, assuming that your black arrow tool is active,…then go ahead and marquee around the intersection…of the two guidelines like so to select them.…Then you want to go up to the control panel,…at the top of the screen and click on this line icon…
