Illustrator: Only show guides of current artboard

Question

I have a document with multiple artboards that have different sizes, but all the same margin.

Now my problem is, that when I have two artboards next to each other, the guides I created for the margins will interfere with the artboard next to it.

Is there an option to hide all guides from artboards you are not currently working on?

Only solutions I have thought of so far:

• positioning the arboards diagonally, so guides do not interfere
• grouping guides per artboard and hide / unhide group

My preferred solution would of course be: as soon as I click on an object within an artboard, only the guides relevant for this artboard will show up, all others are hidden

Answer 1

My way to do it:

I use Shift + O to call the artboard tool.

Now when I drag a guide from the Ruler, it will limit the guide to the artboard.

When I finish it it will show my guide only inside that artboard.

Make sure to release the guides before duplicating that artboard to copy the guides too.

Answer 2

I recommend using InDesign for this purpose, as it handles multiple artboard sizes better and then each one can have its own margin and grid settings without interference between these.
