[suggestion] Snap Guides to millimeter grid
Please consider placing Guides only along the lines of the millimeter grid. That is, new and moving Guides can be located from each other and from the left / top edge of the sheet at a distance that is multiples of an integer number of millimeters.

Re: [suggestion] Snap Guides to millimeter grid
Hi Jensen Head,
The grid has 2mm separation and I agree it would be nice to be able to snap the guides to it, though when placing content you can snap to grid and that would provide a similar functionality.
What advantage do you see to this over just snapping the content itself to the grid?
Dan made a good suggestion here that might help your use case, and that would be an option to snap the guides to existing content so as to make it easier to place content.
I'll ask the dev team their thoughts on this.

Re: [suggestion] Snap Guides to millimeter grid
So the idea of snapping to existing objects didn't get approved, but snapping to the grid did: RT#5912: Feature request :: Editor :: Snap guides to grid
If you need more granularity than the grid which is 2mm apart, you can set the position of the guide to the millimeter using the Properties pane:
