    A context toolbar appears and provides commands for Top edge validation and Bottom edge validation that allow you to validate each selection you make.

    The command for the top edge becomes green and an annotation appears in the work area pointing to the top edge.

    The context toolbar points to the selection.

  5. Click to validate the selection for the bottom edge.

    The command for the bottom edge becomes green and an annotation appears in the work area pointing to the bottom edge.



    When the required selections have been made, the New Guide panel indicates in green that two edges (Top Edge and Bottom Edge) have been validated.

  6. Click OK to finalize the guide initialization.
    The Guide Properties panel appears.
  7. Click OK.

    The new guide is created and displayed transparently above the conveyor.
