Area Guides
Area Guides are rectangular shapes or geometries placed on the design area, invisible at runtime, and serve various purposes.
These shapes are useful, for instance, to move another shape to the center of a designated area guide or to scale another shape based on the dimensions of the area guide.
Area Guides are also beneficial for changing the view to the rectangular area of the guide, allowing you to zoom in. The video will demonstrate how to effectively use area guides.
