#### 7.10.1.30 Display/Guides

Distance is the maximum distance for snapping to guides, and Guide Color controls their color.

Aside from normal guides there are automatic guides. You don’t create automatic guides, instead they are controlled by the content of the document. There are three types of automatic guides:

- the document borders
- the layer frames
- the paths of vector layers

You can decide for each of these types whether they should be used for snapping. Additionally you can control their color.

Nearly all functions allow to temporarily modify the snapping behavior by pressing the Alt key. With Alt-key inverts snapping on: you can define which alignment helpers should be influenced by Alt.
