They can be distracting when there a lot of objects in a view and several guides are generated, and possibly even slowing things down with all the calculations being done. Any help would be appreciated.

In the vision, I know that you can just right click on each of them and remove it. I do not know about perspective but that might be the solution for that too. ---

I would be interested in this as well, as it can be difficult to place objects sometimes with the mouse ---

It’s not the same as a global ability to disable, but if you hold down Alt while moving all rulers/snapping is disabled. ---

Thank you, this dramatically improved the responsiveness of clicking and moving objects in the developer. If I could make a recommendation, I would suggest making the functionality reversed. The rulers/snapping are off by default, and alt will toggle/enable it. I have added it as feature request for anyone interested: [Allow user to toggle rulers/snapping in Perspective without having to hold Alt | Voters | Inductive Automation (canny.io)](https://inductiveautomation.canny.io/ignition-features-and-ideas/p/allow-user-to-toggle-rulerssnapping-in-perspective-without-having-to-hold-alt) ---

I had a feeling it was something like that ---

It helps, but still there should be a way to turn it off.
