### 6.30. New Guide (by Percent)

The New Guide (by Percent) command adds a guide to the image. The position of the guide is specified as a percentage of the canvas Height and Width.

| نکته
You can add guides to the image more quickly by simply clicking and dragging guides from the image rulers and positioning them where you would like. Guides you draw with click-and-drag are not as precisely positioned as those you draw with this command, however.

#### 6.30.1. Activate the Command

You can access this command from the image menubar through Image → Guides → New Guide (by Percent).

#### 6.30.2. “New Guide (by Percent)” Options

When you select this menu item, a dialog opens, which allows you to set the Direction and Position, by percent, of the new guide.

This option is interesting if you want to place guides exactly at the middle of the image, using 50%.
