   Layer Options for several highlighted rows shows the first row's settings, and OK changes only the settings set in the dialog: each row keeps its own color, Template, Lock, Show, Print, Preview and Dim Images otherwise (`crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs/layer_options.rs` tests).
   As VectorCraft's own rule, a layer color (`layer.setProps`, `layer.new`, `layer.newSublayer`) or a Live Paint Gap Preview Color (`livePaint.gapOptions`) given as a hex color with an alpha part (`#rrggbbaa` or `#rgba`) is an error and changes nothing, instead of being set without its alpha. Regression tests: `a_layer_color_with_an_alpha_part_is_refused` in `crates/engine/src/tests/layers.rs` and `a_gap_color_with_an_alpha_part_is_refused` in `crates/engine/src/tests/build.rs`.
   Panel Options › Locate Selected Objects (beyond Illustrator, off by default): when the last selected object changes on the canvas or by a command, the panel opens the layers and groups around it and scrolls to its row, as Locate Object does, without highlighting the row; when Show Layers Only, a search or the filter leaves the object without a row, the panel opens no rows for it and scrolls as with the option off.

Smart Guides: a point drawn with the Pen or a shape tool, and an anchor dragged with Direct Selection, snaps to where paths and ruler guides cross, labelled "intersect" (#1658, part of #1602; a moved selection's own anchors don't). With Smart Guides › Measurement Labels on, the Line Segment tool labels the segment being drawn with its distance, angle and X and Y offsets (`D`, `Angle`, `dX`, `dY`), and the Pen, Curvature and Smart Pen tools label their rubber band the same way when Enable Rubber Band is on (#2983).
   A move that Shift keeps level, upright or diagonal stays on that line when it snaps, with the Selection, Group Selection or Direct Selection tool. It slides along the line until the selection lands on the grid or on whole pixels, lines up with the other objects or is spaced evenly with them, or until the line passes an anchor or crosses a ruler guide near the point the selection was grabbed by. A level or upright move snaps along its own axis only.
   Snap to Last Location: with Smart Guides on and Preferences › Smart Guides › Snap to Last Location on (off by default, VectorCraft's own choice), a selection moved by dragging with the Selection, Group Selection or Direct Selection tool, Shift too, goes back to where the move began while it is within Snapping Tolerance of it, labeled "last location"; an Alt copy is not pulled back onto its original, and with View › Snap to Grid or Snap to Pixel on the move snaps to the grid or to whole pixels instead (`prefs.set` key `snapToLastLocation`). The public [Smart Guides options](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/smart-guides-options.html) page lists the option as snapping objects back to their previous position; the distance, the label, the copy rule and the grid and pixel rule are VectorCraft's own. Tests: `select::tests::snap_to_last_location_puts_a_move_back_where_it_began`, `select::tests::snap_to_pixel_wins_over_snap_to_last_location`, `direct::tests::snap_to_last_location_puts_a_path_moved_by_its_anchor_back`, `direct::tests::snap_to_pixel_wins_over_snap_to_last_location_for_a_path_moved_by_its_anchor`, `tests_prefs::snap_to_last_location_puts_a_dragged_square_back`.
   Pixel Preview: with View › Pixel Preview on, the tools use no Smart Guides. Nothing snaps to Smart Guides or shows their guides, and Snap to Point acts as it does with Smart Guides off. View › Smart Guides keeps its setting and applies again when Pixel Preview is turned off. [Work with Smart Guides](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/work-with-smart-guides.html) says Smart Guides cannot be used while Pixel Preview is on.
