How to avoid selecting reference lines when dragging and selecting objects in AI?

Lock reference line?

This is inflexible and inconvenient.

I remember there was a plugin before, but I can't remember its name.

Just lock those guides.

Or install the public beta. It has a selection mode that can do this. But it's a beta version.

Locking and unlocking guides is as simple as a shortcut.

There is a plugin that can be implemented like InDesign, where only objects are selected and no reference lines are selected.

Sometimes, I feel strange.

Why don't ID PS Ai learn from each other and unify their advantages.
