 Adobe Illustrator help I have somehow managed to lose my bounding boxes, so when I draw a square, I am stuck at the finished size and cannot resize it even when selected, I can move it fine, but I don't get the 6 clear squares when I select it.
Obviously, this renders the program nearly useless.... I'm sure it's some silly little option or preference, but I am at a loss...
Any help would be appreciated!!!!
If it makes a difference I'm on CS3 on a PC.
Thanks!

Re: Adobe Illustrator help Are the points grouped? What options do you have if you right-click the object? Sounds like the object is locked.

Re: Adobe Illustrator help View->Show Bounding Box
You probably typed Ctrl-Shift-B by mistake and turned it off.

Re: Adobe Illustrator help I'm glad it worked! I do that exact thing about once every two months and it always takes me a minute to figure out what I did. I'm sure I'm doing what costerbear said and hitting control+Shift+B.
