Rulers, guides, and grids
To help you produce consistent layouts and align items accurately, Freeway provides various rulers, guides, and grids:
1. Rulers along the top and left-hand edges of a window reflect the vertical and horizontal offset of your items.
2. Ruler guides are vertical and horizontal lines that you use to align items accurately.
3. Vertical and horizontal grids consist of repeating lines occurring at a specified interval.
FW Pro only
4. Margin guides can be used to control a consistent top and left inset for items on your pages.
FW Pro only
Rulers are not shown while working with a frame layout in order to provide a more accurate preview of how the window will look.
Changing the color of guides, grids, and margins
The default color for ruler guides is light green (red for locked guides), and the default color for grid lines is light blue. You can change
the default colors for these if you want:
1. Choose Preferences… from the Freeway menu.
2. Click on the Grids & Guides button in Freeway Pro, or the Guides button in Freeway Express.
3. Click on the appropriate color selector button to display the Color Picker and select another color.
4. Click OK to confirm the color and then click OK to confirm the dialog and return to the document.

Rulers
Rulers along the top and left-hand side of the page view give you an indication of the position of items on a page with respect to the
ruler origin. Initially, the ruler origin is aligned with the top left corner of the page. When working in a particular area of the page
though, you may wish to move the ruler origin to work more conveniently.
The ruler display varies with the selection on the page. For example, with an item selected, the horizontal ruler reflects the standard origin
but with the text cursor in a box, the horizontal ruler reflects the text margins of the item.
Hiding and displaying rulers
You can display or hide the rulers along the top and left-hand side of the screen. Rulers are displayed by default when you open a new
document.
Choose Hide Rulers from the View menu to remove the rulers from the window and increase the visible working area. Choose Show
Rulers to display the rulers. The keyboard combination Command-Alt-r toggles the ruler view on and off.
Setting the ruler origin
You can alter the origin of the ruler measurements by repositioning
the zero point (the ruler origin). This affects the entire document, not
just the page on which you’re working. The current positioning of
items on the page is not affected by changes to the ruler origin.
To set the ruler origin, ensure the rulers are visible and then:
1. Move the pointer over the ruler origin area at the top left
corner of the window, where the horizontal and vertical rulers
intersect.
2. Hold down the mouse button and drag the pointer onto the
page. A long crosshair shows the position of the new ruler
origin.
3. Release the mouse at the new origin.
The new origin point will show in the horizontal and vertical rulers marked with a zero.
The ruler origin, circled, is
the point where the top and
left rulers meet. Dragging
from the origin point into
the page repositions the
zero point.
