    It seems like several problems got mixed in the comments.


    1. Guides made of single anchors (displayed as <Guide> in Layers) are displayed correctly in the latest versions of Ai when View > Guides > Show Guides is enabled (although they are rather small).


    2. Illustrator does not draw centerpoints for ellipses while moving then in GPU mode — a know problem, reported separately here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/39740689

    Please upvote it if you want to see edges while moving.


    3. Show Edges option gets occasionally disabled — gets fixed with Cmd/Ctrl + H. Edges still won’t be drawn when GPU Performance and Real-Time Drawing and Editing options are enabled in Preferences > Performance, only when you switch to CPU mode.


    If your case is nothing like this — please comment and share details on the problem, with steps and screenshots or videos.

    I, also, didn't make it work, but I appreciate that someone spent time trying to help me with the problem. Thanks

    Sorry. It doesn't work for me. I gave up.

    I now use two small guide lines to make a +

    I've been using 22.1 to use my guides. But!, I also have to use 23.0 because the PDFs that 23 creates are not backwards compatible with 22.1. (Everyone else in my company is using 23 and we create Illustrator editable PDFs so that we can send them to our factories. Incidentally, I hope that our factories are able to use 23.0 created PDFs.)

    When you open a 23.0 PDF in Illustrator 22.1 it warns the user that it was created by a newer version of Illustrator and that data loss may occur. My experience is that when 22.1 opens a 23.0 PDF it deletes anything in the canvas area. It also deletes all of the artboards other than artboard 1.

    Illustrator definitely does not meet the requirement for, "it just works", or "KISS".
    It overwhelmingly qualifies for, "smash head on keyboard to continue".

    Out of curiosity, what do the 'Anchor Point and Handle Display' preferences look like with version 22.1?

    Do they look like the "Old Anchor Points Preferences", or do they look like the "Current Anchor Points Preferences"?
    (I'm referencing the preferences images in my forum post.)

    I don't know how to post everything I want to in this comment box, but unless I'm mistaken I'm having the same issue.
