How to draw a temporary straight grid lines/help line in any angle?

[mjoakim]

I want to draw a temporary grid line by clicking at two different places in the image.

Have searched ‘everywhere’ after a answers to this simple question. Hope someone here can help me with this.

Hi @mjoakim, welcome to the community!

You can try pressing Ctrl + R to show the rulers. Then, just click and drag from the horizontal or vertical ruler to add a guide to your document. You can move it around to position it wherever you need.

Here's a video that shares more tips: https://adobe.ly/4gKAdYR

Does that help, or were you looking for something a bit different?

Thanks!
Alek

Hi Aleke

Thank you and thanks for the replay. Yes, I already have played with the rulers, but I want guide lines that are not only horizontal and vertical. I have searched after this in so many ways (Adobe, google, chatgpt++) so I start to think that this function is ‘missing’ 🤷‍:male_sign:

Arbitrary guides are not available in photoshop.

You can draw a line with the pen tool or use the polygonal lasso to make a selection then create a work path from the selection. This will give you a path layer that you can later delete.

Do you want to be able to snap to this grid, or just use as a visual aid.

Would guides be helpful?  You can create and save guide setups.

You can create a pattern that will fill a layer with a grid.

I have a premade grid that I keep in a CC Library, and I find that useful.

If you can give us more details on how you would like to use this grid, that might help?

I don’t need to be able to snap to the guide line. I can solve my problem if I with one hand push my scale ruler against the screen of my display and then line up my graphics but I get frustrated to work this way.
