Hey,

I’ve got a HUGE problem with my “work area”. I don’t know what to do but in one of my files the work area is completly out of function???

It’s turned off and when I try to turn it on - NOTHING HAPPENS.

I go to View / Work Area but the “Work Area” button is all gray and I can’t click it back to normal… WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO?

Regards,  
Panda

…Or, maybe there isn’t any work area when you look at objects???

Anyways… How can I make an object’s work area or “white work area” bigger??? (and I’m not talking about the scene here)!!!

Is there a way to make the work area larger while leaving the stage size the same???

the work area itself is restricted in size. See the limits sticky at the top of this forum for those dimensions

Its possible to get into trouble with this if you are working with long objects, so you have to be cautious of that

No, what I mean is that when I’m working with symbols alone and also the scene… Well, when I zoom out it doesn’t stick to the middle but to the upper left corner.

That’s pretty darn "#¤#%%&…
