Abstract
A smart guide display system generates one or more sub-objects for at least one of reference object in digital content, and each of these sub-objects is added to a set of reference objects. These sub-objects can be, for example, an edge of a reference object, a rectangle generated from a rectilinear reference object, or a freeform gradient color point included in a reference object. When a subject object is to be placed in digital content smart guides, such as equal distance guides or alignment guides, are displayed based on the objects in the set of reference objects.
