How to Snap to Guides?

Apr 7, 2012 8:53 AM

(Mac OSX, Illustrator CS5)

 

When moving objects around the pasteboard, what's the voodoo magic trick to get Illustrator to snap to guides? I can't seem to find a setting for this anywhere. Surely you can snap to guides with Illustrator, can't you?

 

Thanks-

    Turn on Smart guides. And set the preferences for them (check "transform tools")

     

    Illustrator snaps to the cursor position

    And bear in mind that – specifically at different zoom levels – AI's snapping capabilities are incredibly unreliable and imprecise.
