Rulers and guides

Pull a guide from a ruler, snap a layer to it, drag it back to delete it.

Rulers are off by default. Turn them on and, when you open a frame to edit it, two rulers appear inside its top and left edges, in pixels of the frame. Your choice is remembered. The labels adapt to the zoom: zoom out and the steps grow, zoom in and they get finer.

In the editor

1. Press on the top ruler and drag down: a horizontal guide follows the pointer with its position in pixels.
2. Press on the left ruler and drag right for a vertical guide.
3. Release inside the frame to keep it. Layers snap to it while you move them.
4. Drag a guide to move it. Drag it back onto its ruler, or outside the frame, to delete it.
5. Shift+R (Alt+Shift+R in Motion), or View → Rulers (the eye button, top right), shows or hides the rulers and the guides they hold.

The eye button in the top bar is the View menu: outlines (⌘Y), pixel grid (⇧'), layout guides (⇧G), rulers (⇧R) and rotation pivot (⌥R), each a checkbox. Every choice is remembered for the next visit.

Guides are saved with the frame, drawn in the editor, and never appear in an export. A frame holds up to 64.

From an agent

The motion agent has two tools, also reachable through edit in MCP and feega motion:

Tool	Input
add_guide	axis vertical or horizontal, at px from the left or top edge
remove_guide	axis and at for one guide, nothing to clear them all

feega motion ask <nodeId> "Pull a vertical guide at 960 and a horizontal one at 540"

get_motion_doc lists them as userGuides.
