Re: Snap to Guides
I don't use Illustrator any more, but that always bugged me. I guess there's a point to it, but not for anything I ever used it for.
I support your rant, and your right to party.

I think it's a tool that they automatically leave active because it helps people that don't know any better (i.e. people who are too sloppy to use the X/Y measurement tools or the guides and stuff).TabascoElvis wrote:I don't use Illustrator any more, but that always bugged me.

What kills me is you can't escape it. Quark, Illustrator, InDesign.... it's everywhere and it haunts my existence.
