Question

snap guides not working - snap to document grid is turned off

Hi

the marks that appear to show me I have centered text and images has disappeared on my document somehow - I don't know what happened

I did what threads like this said (I think) and turned off snap to document but they're still not showing when I center the elements.

I attach a screenshot of my view>grids & guides box

I can't figure out why it isn't working

UPDATE: I did what everyone had said and it didn't work but what did work was turning off 'lock guides' and then turning on 'smart guides' in the view

Do you have Smart Guides turned on in the prefs?

You still have 'snap to document grid' highlighted in that screenshot?
