Jacob Bugge Nov 15, 2013 10:15 AM (in response to JamesProvost)James,
Depending on the urgency of your plight, you may await some cleverer suggestions, or read on.
When seems to be wrong for no apparent reason, and it is not limited to certain (existing) documents, you may consider the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps, unless someone comes up with a cleverer suggestion.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences:
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder Other options (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

JamesProvost Nov 15, 2013 10:23 AM (in response to Jacob Bugge)Is this a bug or the normal behavior?
Can you (or anyone) confirm whether or not Free Transform snaps to Guides or Smart Guides in Illustrator CC?

kaanunugur Dec 16, 2013 7:40 PM (in response to JamesProvost)It is an expected behaviour which is not working on CC and was working perfectly on previous versions. I think Adobe f'ed up while they were trying to make free transform touch friendly and hope they will fix it soon. Double-check if you have 'Transform Tools' selected under Edit > Preferences > Smart Guides, maybe it will work for you. It doesn't work for me (Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit). Also according to this article, it should work the way we are accustomed to:

JamesProvost Dec 17, 2013 6:05 AM (in response to kaanunugur)Yes, I have Transform Tools turned on under Preferences > Smart Guides.
I can't tell what that checkbox even does. Scale, Shear, Rotate, Reflect all seem to work with Smart Guides regardless if that box is checked or not. Maybe that's something for another thread.

JamesProvost Dec 17, 2013 6:45 AM (in response to Jacob Bugge)I've tried all the steps Jacob Bugge suggested with no success. Smart Guides still does not work with Free Transform.

Dhirendra Mohan Dec 17, 2013 11:22 AM (in response to JamesProvost)Hi JamesProvost,
It looks like a bug with Transform tool in AICC. Please log it as a bug via https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.
I'll forward it to the relevant folks in the Ai Engineering Team. Appreciate your cooperation!

paskyutz Jun 16, 2014 10:13 AM (in response to JamesProvost)Ensure you have Show Bounding Box ON. View -> Show Bounding Box if it says Hide Bounding Box it is already on. Try disabling and enabling and then scaling or moving objects. You should see your smart guides working again.
