Smart Guide Line Extension not snapping

  • October 15, 2024

I recently updated to Illustrator 2025 and since doing so, when I go to extend a line by dragging an anchor, it is no longer snapping to the "Line Extension". I have verified that the correct preferences are checked under Preferences> Smart Guides> Anchor/ Path Labels. 

 

Any help on this would be great thanks!

    As far as I can see the issue has been fixed in the latest Illustrator version 29.0.1.

    Hello @Rosie30950314s3uj,

    Sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing more details, like the OS/Illustrator version and a screen recording of your workflow and the problem, so we can better assist you?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Hi Anubhav,

     

    Thank you for the help. I am using Illustrator Version 29.0. I'm not sure how to record my screen so I've attached a couple screen shots. 

    The "Anchor/ Path" smart guide works, as does extending a line that is 90 degrees horizontal or vertical. But when I try to extend an angled line, the Line Extension smart guide doesnt come up.

    Thanks for the help!
