Is there a way to delete multiple guidelines?

Postby keisha321 » Tue Oct 21, 2014 8:44 am

As I work, sometimes I have a lot of extra guidelines that I'd like to clear. Does anyone know if there is a way to get rid of all of them at one time, instead of highlighting each one individually?

A brute-force solution would be to save as plain svg then re-open the file.
This could get rid of other featured parts you may want to keep, for example retaining path effects without turning them to plain paths.

FWIW,

In the pre .91 build there exists Menu: Edit>Delete All guides
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/
