Comment 4 for bug 996252

This seems to be a bug that was "solved". However, item 2 and 3 have not been implemented:

@ Option for short guides, i.e. need not necessarily extend to/beyond page margins
@ Group guides with each other (but not with drawing objects)

Item 2 is what I am seeking. To add a field in the Guideline dialog box (upon double clicking) so that the user can specify the length of the guide, so that it does not extend to page margins. Some users have suggested using a bezier line as guides. However, it is my wish to ask that this field and behavior be added. No I am not including screenshots of the proposed behavior, because I do not have time. I suggest you check Adobe Illustrator as an example of such functionality, which would help set guides ahead of time before drawing. These guide features would aid enormously.

Thanks.
