Use drawing guides

To align multiple drawing objects evenly on the drawing area, guides are available in freehand diagrams.

Blue guides are displayed under the following conditions:

  • In the properties of the diagram, the Align to objects and/or Align to distances properties are enabled

  • Several drawing objects are created in the diagram

  • The drawing object is moved or resized by drag & drop

  • The active drawing object is on an identical horizontal or vertical line with another drawing object


Drawing guides are displayed in the following places of a shape:

  • at the edges (top, bottom, right, left)

  • in the center (horizontal or vertical)
