    • In the top-right corner of any view in your workspace, click on the Add View button and select Guides.

    • 1-Point Perspective
    • 2-Point Perspective

NOTES
  • Adding a guide automatically toggles the Enable Guides option on, and automatically toggles the Lock Guides option off, so that you can immediately view and adjust your new guide.
  • Your new guide will come in a preset position with preset parameters. To make adjustments to your guide, see Editing Drawing Guides.
