Cannot move guide line a precise distance from starting point

Check your PM’s.

Looking at your second file, I think I would go about the model a different way. After creating a short frame and placing it at one end, I would move a copy to the other end and then type /3 to produce two intermediate copies at exactly 1/3 the distance without measuring anything or using any guides.

Thanks, Steve. Great suggestion!

Thought I’d add a link to your other post since it includes the solution.

Tape Measure Tool - Creating A Guideline a Precise Distance from Starting Point

Quick Tip if you use an extended keyboard, as I do, when inputting a precise measurement from a starting point to create a guideline. Recently I was unable to input my intended distance. I discovered, with some excellent and friendly guidance from Dave R, that I had inadvertently hit the keyboard button Num Lock, thereby turning the number keys off. Result: no guideline anywhere! Be sure your number pad is on!

Glad I could help if I did.
