Guide lines off?

Hi All,

Newbie here.

I have searched the Options and the Internet to some degree and I
can't find where to turn off the guide lines for dropping components
on the Form. They are driving me nuts.

I found a comment online Ctrl+H but it was dated 2008 and Ctrl+H did
nothing. I checked the User's Help and the pics in there are DOS based
graphics which I figured would be earlier than 2008 so skipped them. A
touch outa date methinks.

Can someone please point me at the guide lines stopper?

Open the IDE Options dialog and enter "guide" to the filter. Should be
easy to find.
I don't quite understand how such a useful feature is driving you
nuts, but it is a personal choice of course.

Thanks Juha, it is a curse I know. I am a Mechanical Engineer and I
have been also programming for 35+ years and combining both those
doctrines, I can easily and repeatedly eye-ball down to around 0.010"
(ten-thousandths  of an inch)

The guides get in the way, that's why they are driving me nuts.

Thanks for the tip on the Filter - I didn't see it up there. That
guided me to the issue quickly.

Only been at Lazerus for about 2 hours, but it is turning out to be an
awesome piece of programming.
