Can't See Guide Position Relative to Ruler While Dragging?

[Rectangles]

I'm not sure what preference/feature/window I unwittingly turned off, but for some reason when I drag a new guide to position it on my artboard, Illustrator is not showing me any info on where my guide is relative to the ruler. No little popup by my cursor. No info displaying anywhere in Illustrator.

I tried unlocking guides and also clicking on the guide (while unlocked) to position it numerically, but I get nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey

Clicking on the guide while it's unlocked should show the X and Y location information in the Control Strip/Properties Panel, as well as the Transform Panel and Info Panel (if they're open).

Could you open those panels and try again?

Also, if you're trying to set up precise guides quickly, you could use objects and then convert those to guides (CMD+5/CTRL+5).

Got it, Tony.

Thanks! And I'll mark this as answered.

And when you play a new guide, where is its info

If the guide is unlocked, you'll see the info relating to it in the Properties panel or Transform Options.
