# Ruler guides animated icon

Guides are pulled out of the rulers and set on the 17 marks. Light: the vertical guide is drawn down out of the top ruler, and the horizontal guide follows a beat later, drawn across out of the left ruler; each stops at full length. Strong: each guide is also dragged out from its ruler while it draws, runs past its mark, snaps back onto it with a stop and settles; the horizontal one follows the vertical one. The rulers never move.
