# Show Smart Plumblines

*This is a plugin for the [Glyphs font editor](http://glyphsapp.com/).*  

By default it displays **live guidelines** at the center of each paths’ `red` and components’ `grey` bounding box.  

If you select anything, it also displays the center of that selection `blue dashed`.

This is usefull for aligning objects by sight. As well as:

- Align multiple paths and/or components

### Install

1. Install via the Plugin Manager in Glyphs.

2. Restart Glyphs.

### How to use
