    Hi Egor,

    Thank you for your response. Regarding the line guides, I currently do exactly what you suggested: I create the line and then scale it to a very high percentage. This is precisely one of the reasons why I proposed the feature of having a guide defined by two points, to avoid the line/expand/convert process.

    For the circle, I will check the request. As for the length, I am aware that the guides are limited to the canvas.

    Thank you again, and have a great day!

    Best regards, Luca

    Hi Egor,

    Thank you for your response. I didn't know that it was possible to rotate a guide using the Rotate Tool, and I find this feature very useful.

    Regarding the 2 and 3-point guides, I am referring to guides that can be defined by two or three specific points. For example, a 2-point guide would be a straight line passing through two defined points, while a 3-point guide could be used to create a circle passing through three specific points. I know that it is possible to convert any object into a guide using View > Guides > Make Guides, but it is not possible to create a circle from three points or an infinite line from two points. Currently, it is possible to convert a line into a guide, but it is limited to its length, whereas guides should extend indefinitely.

    I hope these explanations clarify my proposal. Thank you again for your help!

    Best regards, Luca
