Hello everyone!

I recently bumped into a issue that I can't figure out. Normally when you have a object in place and you drag another somewhere near it, the program will automatically give you suggestion lines so you can align the objects better. But InDesign is not showing me those lines..

My view in InDesign. As you can see there are no suggestion lines shown..

My view in Illustrator, here it gives me the desired line as you can see (marked with the red arrow).

Hey, thanks for the quick reaction!

It seems to be disabled for me, any idea how to re-enable it?
