Hi Everyone

I've just constructed a form in LiveCycle Designer, using maths and fields around boxes and text boxes, is there any way of dragging guides onto my design for more accurate "lining-up" of boxes/text, it would be so much easier. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You Oldboy

Doubleclick the ruler to open the dialog for drawing aids.

Thanks for your help, I've tried that, but I was hoping for vertical or horizontal guides which you could pull down/across as in InDesign/Quark etc.

The guides can only be entered manually into the dialog.
For better orientation/alignment by hand you can activate the long crosshairs.

I always work with the grid snap turned on, it helps a lot - found on the Drawing Aids palette.

Set out a grid that works for you based on your field sizes and measurements that work for you.

My form objects are based around my grid setup. I use a grid of 4/pc which is 4 per Pica or every 3 points - so my objects are setup in multiples of 3 points, a typical field I've been using is 30 points high with 12 points reserved for a top caption leaving 28 points for the value.
