      Double clicking the artboard tool in the tool palette will bring up this dialog box a little quicker. Agreed this setting feels a bit buried at the moment.

      What you are describing does not exist in the current version of Illustrator from Spring of 2018.  I have wasted the last half hour trying to find how to turn the Title Safe & Action Safe guides OFF.  I remember there used to by those little buttons next to the artboard name box, but I can't find anything like them anywhere.  Please somebody help.  Is this a bug in the newer versions of Illustrator?

        In the new update of Illustrator, click on "Edit Artboards" in the Properties panel. Then under Quick Actions in that pane, click "Artboard Options" then you can check or uncheck the Video Safe/Center Mark/Cross Hairs options.

            This is great, but is there a keyboard shortcut to quickly toggle these guides on/off?

            I guess I could re-draw them with guides, but do I need to?

              This is a six year old thread.

              Please be more specific about your problem. Might be better to create a new thread actually in order to not confuse everyone.

              There's no reason to throw out the information above just because of time, especially since it's still relevant to the original question above.

              I'll repost, to gain more eyes, but if someone has a useful answer, please respond here as well for the sake of the archive. Again, to clarify for Monika since perhaps I'm not as clear as I can be, I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to toggle on/off the guidelines discussed above in the Artboard preferences (crosshairs, action/title safe).

              Thanks!

                Hi

                The toolbar should say 'artboard' - after the input box labelled: Name, there are some small icons, the second along says "Display options" if you hover over it. Hidden under that icon are various options to show and hide the different aspects of the video grid if I'm correct in understanding what you're asking for.
