My guess is that we have a terminology problem.

I think kelhammer is using the words "guide lines" to describe the dashed lines that come from snap points. The actual name for these lines is "extension lines."

CruisinLong is referring to the object actaully called Guide Lines in VW. These are lines (or other objects) that are placed in the Guides class. There are commands in the Modify menu to create, show, hide and delete Guides.

The short answer to kelhammer's question is no, you can not get extension lines to remain. You can however use guides to simulate teh same thing.
