: See anchor points on objects even when they're not selected - Illustrator Title says it all. I wan't to be able to see anchor points on "object 1" when working with "object 2" so I can align

While I haven't found a way to do this, I often find myself wanting the same thing.

What I do in cases like this is drag out two Guides (one horizontal and one vertical) and snap them to the point I want to keep track of before deselecting the object:


This way you can see where the anchor point is, and even have Illustrator snap objects to the intersection of the two guides - as if it was a point.
