Hello everyone, I'm working on my usual Illustrator layers and all of the sudden I can't select my guides? I was cutting them, moving them around, all good... guides are not blocked, they're not in a blocked layer, I can see them on my layers panel, I can add more, but I can't select them or move them anymore.

Hello @Bera35005021f6ve,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing a screen recording of your workflow? This will help better understand the root cause of the trouble you're having with guides in Illustrator.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you! I tried everything again and this time it did work, turned the computer off and on again and I'm working fluently now. I appreciate the help!

And you are sure that guides are not locked in View > Guides > Lock guides? That could hapen with a shortcut.
