      I believed that I have to select it and use move tool, but I was not succesfull to select it. I think the problem is that it was a part of group or what? I triple click to object to open it and edit... then. OK, done. Thanks.

        OR probably even easier... delete the misplaced guideline and make a new one in the desired location...
        It's not black-magic... πŸ˜’

        Hm, that is what I was not successful to do. It is harder to describe without image

        coz the guide would be not be parallel to green axis (it would intersect the green axis and then go to the point = not parallel).

              One more problem with that guidelines. Now I tried to hide the castle and I realize that when I change to different layer to hide the layer 0, so the guides, which I created will disappear πŸ˜„ So I need to clone the guide lines from layer 0 to active layer... Is that possible?

                Go back to the help files and learn about layers.

                And you don't need to use Layers to hide guidelines.

                  OK, I learned how to move them to different layer and how to hide them in Entity info box. I had seen in video, that the guy used hidding of objects very quickly in scenes video, but did not explain it how he did it.

                    I try to add guidline using tape (click and drag from red axis)

                      Press the Ctrl button. It toggles simple measuring and guide creation. Press it a couple of times and see if a small + signs appears/disappears. When it is there, it should create a guide line.

                        Yes, that is that what I tried few times. I succeed to create one guide line, but only one, not much success. I must train.
