Beginners' Questions How to Create or Set Guide Lines to a Specific Node on a Path

    Is it possible to set guidelines (hopefully interesecting guidelines) to a exact node which is within a Path? Whether the path is open or closed?

    I wish to do this for a specific node and not to the bounding box of the path. Nor to the start nor end nodes of the path.

    Knowing how to do this may be a means of helping me align some other aspects of the path or different paths.

    Thank you for sharing your help and thoughts.

    I'd activate Snap to Smooth and/or Cusp Nodes, plus Snap to Guides.

    The guide origin will snap to the closest node. You can snap an intersecting guide if you like.

    Thank you, Tyler, for the speedy and good response.

    I guess the solution was right under my nose, so to speak
