Another option to center Guide Lines is to use: The View Menu / New Guide (lines). Use the New Guide twice with a Position of 50%. Once Horizontal and once Vertical. Note: The ruler does not need to be visible. To clear guide lines use View menu / Clear Guides, (when the ruler is not visible).Moto,
Great one! I am adding it to my "collection" of tips. Thanks!

I came back to this thread wanting to refresh my memory on Moto's tip, but with the image now gone, I do not know how to get the 50% rule to work. I did write myself a note on my computer on this at the time Moto typed this but I find myself wishing the image was still here... |

Try this.
1. Go to View>New Guide. 2. Enter 50% in the Vertical Orientation box. 3. Click OK to create the vertical guide. 4. Go back to View>New Guide. 5. Enter 50% in the Horizontal Orientation box. 6. Click OK to create the horizontal guide.
NOTE: To clear the guides . . . go to View>Clear Guides.

I just accidentally learned something on my own... if you want to move the circle at the same time you are constructing the circle, continue holding down the shift key (holding the shift key keeps the circle a perfectly round object) then also press and hold the space bar Now you can move the location of the circle! Everyone else here probably already knew that |

I didn't know that either. Thanks for the tip. That works super slick. If you hold down the command key (Mac) instead of the spacebar (like I accidentally did the first time I tried this) you cut out your circle selection and move the selection around. Don't know how useful that would be, but maybe it would be a great addition for adding fun to a scrapbook page. (Or I guess, I could drag it onto another project instead of using 'save selection')

(Or I guess, I could drag it onto another project instead of using 'save selection') Interesting... I just tried your tip on my Windows machine (holding CTRL down at same time) and nothing happened. When I tried holding down the space bar, I was thinking at the time "pressing the space bar you change your tool into the hand so you can move the picture around" and wondered if that would work with the circle, and it did! Glad I was able to help you out as well Jan |
