Anchor Point Guides

Community Beginner ,

I can no longer see my anchor point guides that I use throughout many of my Illustrator templates.

This first image is what they should look like when they are not selected. I opened up my Illustrator CS5 to get this screenshot:

Here is what anchor guides should look like from Illustrator CS5.PNG

But the anchors in Illustrator CC are invisible. (They weren't invisible until recently.)

You can see a blue square when the anchors are selected. (First Image)

They're invisible when they are not selected. Not Helpful! (Second Image)

Selected Guides.PNGWhere are the guides.PNG

Is something corrupted with my Illustrator CC installation, or did Adobe remove the ability to view anchor point guides?

Did Adobe change the way Illustrator displays anchor points/guides at the same time that they changed the Anchor Point and Handle Display preferences box?

Is there some setting that I have accidentally changed?

FYI - Old Anchor Points Preferences (First Image)

FYI - Current Anchor Points Preferences (Second Image)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you convert the anchor points in the template file to guides through “make guide command” ?

have you checked if the guides is shown any not hidden?

1. The general Guides settings for the artboard are visible & unlocked.

2. My anchor point guides were made using {right-click, make guides}.

I've added a link to this post for the following bug/feature request:

Illustrator 2019 - anchors are now invisible unless selected? – Adobe Illustrator Feedback

I didn't see a better way to share the information than just linking to it.
