Top layer is isomatric guides made of stroke and 2nd one is drawing place.
The guide is low opacity and I tryed to drarw along it.

Is it my illustrator setting wrong or someting?

My IA is CC 2022

Thank you reply!

I tried it.But smart guides was still not working even though turned lines into guide.

I put the gif here again because it might not work.

It is ok to snaping in empty space .But it is to be not working on the inside filled shape.

And putting the layer with the guides on top is not an option?

Unlock your top layer "Guide" that contains the grid.

 

One may think that it should also work if that layer is locked, but it doesn't.

Thank you reply!

 

Well, I can draw when unlock the guide layer, but happening pen tool is not able to finish.

 

You said that, but I saw locked guide layer working on nothers tutorial video (eg YouTude etc). Unfortunaly it does not teach me how to do. So I think Ai can.

Thanks for the elaboration.

 

I cannot reproduce the issue about the non-closing paths. Perhaps you may want to share a sample Illustrator file.
