Guide Line Dialog

Postby williamrouse » Fri Jan 02, 2009 1:50 pm

On the Inkscape Tutorial website there is a link to Inkscape: Guide to a Vector Drawing Program by Tavmjong Bah. The second lesson is on drawing the European flag. The tutorial asks you to bring up the guide lines dialog and I’m stuck. I can’t seem to figure this out after putting it to rest last night and trying again today. How do you bring up this dialog?
Thanks for your help and patience.

First you need to create a Guideline, do that by dragging with your mouse from the ruler to the canvas. Once you have the guide use the Selector tool :tool_selector: and double-click on the guide, the dialogue will pop up.

It is mentioned on that European flag page http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... #id3712021
