Q: Keynote 6 Shape Anchor Point Alignment

On Keynote 6.6.2 I can't seem to get control/anchor point alignment guides while using 'draw with pen' shapes or editing them. It was a default feature on '09 has it been removed from 6+?

Alignment Guides are created in exactly the same way in Keynote 6 as in previous versions by clicking on the ruler then dragging the guide into the required position. The ruler is displayed by using (command R) or View > Show Ruler.

    Sorry for the delay, pulled away on another project.....

     

       The rulers help, and the alignment guides for complete objects continue to work as usual (previous versions) however if you take a 'draw with pen' shape in '09 and select an individual control point, there is an alignment guide/snap to option to set that point into alignment with neighbouring points (de-selectable by holding down the command key while adjusting). Default colour for those guides was yellow, as seen in the attached screen shot from an '09 example.

     

      I can't find an option anymore to enable this. Thoughts?Screen Shot 2016-09-08 at 2.09.22 PM.png

    I didn't realise there was such a thing as anchor point guides, Iv always just used the ruler guides.

    I concur this is not available in versions 6.
