      This may already be in there - but I was trying to create a perespctive look on text but would love a tool I could set my guides to automatically where it allowed me to set the axis and add a set number of guide lines and be able to slide the guidelines up and down along that axis and also allow new strokes and pasted object to snap to that guide.
      Illustrator has a 3d effect which I would also like to see a better version of in VS eventually - one thing I wish they had in their version was an easy way to make these edges in the perspective chosen. Right now when you use their 3d tool, you get left with a bunch of shapes and you have to go in and manually figure out where you can add lines. 0_1617122876492_BLD 2021-03-30 at 12.43.38.png

        @Boldline Could rotated guidelines help with this one, as a workaround?

          @vectoradmin Are rotated guides something you already implemented or are you thinking ahead of a temporarily solution that could be added in the next beta? that might be a decent fill-in solution...

            @Boldline Has been there from the start 🙂 Guidelines can be at any angle. Hover over the guideline close to the view margin and it will rotate when dragged, instead of moving. Also: angles can be set in the guidelines panel.

              I found this video that demonstrates what I was envisioning for a perspective tool in VS at some future point.

                I've knocked up this perspective guide grid which has come in handy a couple of times

                  I don't know if this is really helpful.

                  But for Windows users there is a somewhat
                  unusual solution. If you can spare a few Bucks ($30.-).

                  The tool is called "LazyNezumi" and is actually meant for bitmap programs
                  but works also with vector programs (e.g. Affinity Designer).
                  Also with VectorSTyler, tested. But you have to turn off line smoothing.

                  This tool captures the window of your graphics program, from then on you
                  can use the rulers as if they were built in. The ruler mode
                  can be switched on and off.

                  Besides, you can say that it has a lot more to offer than just a perspective ruler.

                  Here there Homepage

                  Btw. dont forget that you can paint your Design in a Bitmap Program
                  and trace it later with VS build in Vector Tracer.
