Best way to do this?

Hi Wayne-

Not sure why you're having a hard time grabbing the object points - for me I can easily grab corner points of shapes (whether geometric or custom shapes) under guide intersections, the cursor doesn't switch to the guide-moving indicator.

But you can also lock guides universally: In the Arrange menu, go to Guides and select Lock Guides. (In System Preferences you could set up a keyboard shortcut for this also.) This will leave the guides visible, but not allow them to be picked and used for alignment.

The problem I have is trying to leave the guides in placed while trying to grab a point which I have placed at the intersection of two guides. I seem to be able to grab the guide, but trying to grab the objects point is nearly impossible to do. I hate moving the guides because usually they are lined up with clock edges and I have to be pretty precise in where rising or falling edges are.
