Yes :)

You need to learn about "layers". On the lower part of the edition window
you have some "tabs": "layout", which is selected by default, "controls",
"dimension lines". You can create more with a click on the layers bar and
set their properties with a couple of right clicks. And among those
properties there is the possibility to "lock" a layer. Objects created when
a layer is selected "belong" to that layer, so cut your guide lines, select
a different layer and paste them. Finally, lock that layer.
