UNABLE TO CENTER GUIDES

[chorodus]

I have tried so much to center guides on art board  in illustrator using align tool but all was to no avail. I have also tried to check all the settings to know why it happens but couldn't not. I have unchecked all the settings in the transform panel but it didn't work. When ever I draw out intersecting guides in illustrator and want to center it by selecting all the guides and hit horizontal align center or vertical align center, the guides will be thrown of the art board. Please help me to rectify the problam. I love doing it that way.

Make sure that Smart Guides are active.

If you hold down the Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Win) key to drag intersecting guides from the rulers you will see the word center when they are at the center orf the artboard.

Did you check the Align to Artboard option before aligning the guides?

Yes I did that but it didn't work out.

It is working now because I reset the illustrator

In case you are using an older version of Illustrator you are probably badgered by an old bug that appears when you use the Align palette while the Use Preview Bounds option is turned on (in the preferences or in the flyout menu of the Align palette). Then guides are flying somewhere to the edges of the scratch area. Turn the option off to get the correct behaviour.

I'm not sure in what version the bug was fixed, but in the latest version it isn't there anymore.
