How do I get my guides to work across all layers in Illustrator CS6?

June 24, 2013 7:00 AM

Is there any way that I can get guides to stay visible across *all* layers in Illustrator CS6, instead of disappearing when I turn layers off? I'd rather not replace them every time I add a new layer. My google-fu is failing due a bad combination of search terms that keeps returning tutorials. Thank you!

You can put the guides on their own separate layer, and turn it on and off as you please.

Kabanos is correct. I do this all the time.
On existing documents, just make a new "guides" layer and move your guides form the other layers to the new one.
