Illustrator issues

I seem to have lost my bounding box on my selction tool. How do I get it back? I looked in preferences and didnt see anything. This is not the direct selct tool but the black arrow selection tool.

nm I figured it out. I must have hit a hot key to turn off bounding box.

:smiley: That happened to me not too long ago. Drove me crazy looking for the answer. Want to post the solution so others know what to look for?

CMD+Shift+B / Control+Shift+B

Thanks Simp :slight_smile:

or View>>Show Bounding Box

Yea but that’s the newbie way :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: LoL

thats funny … the bounding box is the first thing I turn off on a fresh install

so how do you rescale stuff? you’d have to switch to the scale or free transform tool… i imagine that’d get really tedious.

I switch back and forth.

I turn on the bounding when I need it, but mostly it is in the way.

i just hit E to transform or S to scale… i agree with CanisMajor… mostly it is in the way of what i am tring to design… not to mention that it reminds me of coreldraw

see i told u simp memorized all the key shortcuts and most of the tools functions…

what a geek!
