    Why don't guides seem to stick to faces?

      Hi All,

      I created a face, and created guides 1" in from each edge. Where the guides intersect near the four corners, I created 1/2" circles. I want to extrude each of those circles out 1/8", but only some of those circles have adhered to the face. So it seems the guides I created have not inferenced the face. As a work around, I use actual lines as a proxy for guides, then make my circles centered on the line intersections, then erase the lines, then extrude the circles. I wish this would work more gracefully using just the guides. Any way I can force the guides to inference the faces so I use the guides for reliable circle placement? Many thanks!

        It's better if you post an image and more an skp file (save as V6)! πŸ€“

        Else I don't see why you have this problem! πŸ˜„

        Guides are drawn following a previous one as inference line!

        Circle is drawn with taking the orientation of the face by Shift!

        First guide is drawn by a move and come back! πŸ˜‰
        (move & back can be external or internal as following)
