114 Object Handling
The snapping distance is controlled by the MOUSE tab of the OPTIONS dialog box
("UTILITIES" > "OPTIONS" or right click a page and choose PAGE OPTIONS).
You can specify two snap distances in the "Magetic snap radii" section, which control
how close things need to be before they will snap together. The size of a circle around
points (point) and the distance either side of lines (lines). It's usually best to make the
point value larger than the line value, so that it's easier to snap to the end points of lines.
Customizing Web Designer Premium (on page 495) has full details of the Options dialog.
Guide Objects and Guidelines
Guide objects and guidelines are objects on a special layer, the guides layer. A guide
layer is automatically created when you create a guideline (see below), or you can create
one manually by right clicking in the PAGE & LAYER GALLERY and selecting CREATE GUIDE
LAYER (see Layers (on page 447) for more information).
Use SNAP TO GUIDES in the WINDOW menu (or key 2 on the numeric keypad) to turn on
snapping to guide objects.
