Moving objects to the guides layer

For Drawing documents you can create objects in the guides layer exactly as on other layers.

You can move or copy existing objects to the guides layer using Cut-Copy-Paste. Pasting using CTRL+Shift+V (see Pasting objects from the clipboard) pastes the object in the same position it was Cut/Copied from (if the object was Cut or Copied in Xara X).
