Hide or display guidelines when moving shapes

Guides are blue lines that appear when you are moving a shape or group of shapes. Use them to help you line up a shape with other shapes that are on the drawing canvas. They are enabled by default.

When you are arranging several shapes horizontally or vertically, additional guidelines will appear to help you space them evenly.
