Hi,

 

When I release pointer from the guide, the guide disappears.

 

Could you tell me how to make it visible, regardless of the pointer?

In Illustrator 2020 24.1 you have an option in the Preferences > Performance: Real Time Drawing and Editing.

With that option checked your guides disappear when you try to move them (it shows you a real time preview of a guide that has no fill or stroke).

You can see the guide when you move it in Outline Preview or when you disable GPU Preview (Cmd E).

    And whai if I unchek the real time drawing and editing option, what dois it change for real?

    Changing to outline preview whenever I need to see the rulers can be really annoying

      Hi,

       

      Thank you very much for your reply.

       

      Is there any way to move the Guide wiht Arrow Keys.

      (I could do it on Windows.)

      You should be able to do that. In Preferences>General, to what is your Keyboard Increment set?
