Illustrator :: How To Scale A Straight Path Without Square Bounding Box

Feb 18, 2013

When I create a straight path, the controls to scale the path are along the path. But once I click off it then try to skale again, a square-shaped bounding box appears. How do I get rid of the square-shaped bounding box in order to scale a path from its ends like when I first created it?

Illustrator :: Click On Item With Direct Selection Tool - Get Small Square On Each Bounding

Oct 3, 2013

When I click on an item with the direct tool I used to get a small square on each bounding box line which I could use to adjust the size of the object. Somehow it's gone away - how do I get it back?

Illustrator :: Square Or Polygon - Transform One Of Sides From Straight To Smooth Curve

Jan 19, 2013

Say I have a square or a polygon. I want to transform one of the sides from straight to a smooth curve. Is there a way to do this?
 
I have the pen tool and I'm tracing an object. I want to create one curved side then continue on with straight edges. However the tool insists on creating 2 or 3 curves at a time.
 
Is there a way to create a single isolated or part of a shape curve thats adjustable with both endpoints. It seems that curves I create often are missing adjustment levers at one of their endpoints making it harder to get the shape I want.

Illustrator :: How To Auto-scale Area-text Bounding Box

May 21, 2013

I'm using Illustrator CS6 with a file that someone else produced.  Many of the area text bounding boxes are way bigger than they need to be.  In Freehand, I used to be able to double-click on a corner of the bounding box and the box would automatically resize itself to just fit around the text (loved that feature!).  Is there something similar in Illustrator?  Or do I need to go through and manually resize all the bounding boxes by dragging them smaller?

GIMP :: Scale Border Around Rectangle Or Square?

Nov 29, 2011

I’m trying to figure out if there is a way to scale a “border” around a rectangle or square? Or, put another way, keeping an image the same size, but enlarge an inner rectangle or square without cropping the “border.” To try and add context, imagine a bezel used for an arcade machine. A border with a cut-out in the middle to view the screen. Imagine you wanted to preserve the information on the bezel border, but increase the size of the cut out.

Illustrator :: Bounding Box Much Larger Than Object?

Jan 21, 2014

I've been working on this project in Illustrator for a day or two now. All of a sudden, all objects, both preexisting and newly created, have a very large purple bounding box.
 
In order to alter the size of the object, I have to find the corner of the large bounding box. I have a feeling it may be a setting I hit as this began happening after I was fiddling around with adding more artboards.

Illustrator :: Aligning Text Due To Bounding Box (CS 6)

Oct 17, 2012

I am struggling to properly align text because the bounding boxes are not centered around the text.  Therefore, when I try to align it with another object, it is off.  I am using CS 6 and, generally, the point and type tool.  it might be the type of font (that perhaps they are "bad" fonts) but it doesn't seem to matter which type of font I use.  The bounding box always has extra space underneath the text, even when using a very standard font like Times New Roman.

Illustrator :: How To Fit Text To A Bounding Box Width

Jun 24, 2013

I would like to fit text to a bounding box's width.

So for example, if I have a bounding box with the with 10 cm, I should be able to type text in it, multiple lines, and the text should then fit itself to the width of the bounding box by going up/down in size, so the height of the text also changes accordingly.
 
Does it make sense?

Illustrator :: How To Hide Bounding Box In Just One Document Window

Jul 23, 2013

Using Illustrator CS6 for Windows, when I open a document and then open a second window (Window > New Window), I can show rulers (View > Rulers > Show Rulers) in one window without affecting the behavior of the other.
 
I can also hide edges (View > Hide Edges) in just one window, but not the other.  I can even show the transparency grid (View > Show Transparency Grid) in one window, but not the other.
 
This is all as expected, and very useful when I keep one window on my working monitor and drag the other window to the monitor my client is watching.
 
The problem is this: when hide or show the bounding box (View > Hide/Show Bounding Box), it affects both windows.  Furthermore, it affects all open documents--not just multiple windows belonging to one document.
 
This is maddening--is there some way I can restrict that change to just one window?  I can't imagine why other View options are per-window, but this View option is application-wide.
 
TL;DR: In Illustrator CS6 for Windows, how can I hide the bounding box in one and only one document window?

GIMP :: Set Path Preview Line To Show Straight Line

Oct 12, 2012

I've just recently caught up to 2.8 (From 2.4 something or other believe it or not ) and amongst a couple of things I have to say I don't like is the fact that previously when setting a path, if I wanted it to be either perfectly horizontal or vertical I could see by the steps in the path preview line whether it was or not.

With the new version, initially at least, that's no longer the case. As I tend to work with straight lines a lot of the time it's proving to be a bit of a pain. Is there any way to set the path preview line to show the steps again to indicate a straight line.

Illustrator :: CS4 - Rotating JPG Gets Bounding Box Stretched And Center Shifted

Nov 26, 2012

CS4 Bug - Rotating jpg gets center stretched and size expanded.
 
What happens is I have a jpeg in a separate layer. I then shrink it to overlay on another layer. I begin to shrink and rotate it, and then at some point (seemingly a certain angle) during rotation the image's bounding box gets stretched like 500% or some gross number. How do I stop this from happening?

Illustrator :: Mysterious Empty Bounding Box Appears That Can't Be Deleted

Mar 2, 2011

I seem to be doing something that causes an empty bounding box to appear in my document and when I attempt to delete the bounding box I can't. It always remains on the screen. When I select any objects in the design, the mysterious bounding box encompasses it and the object. I can even move the empty bounding box to any corner of the artboard and when I select an object it will look as if the object has some hidden content in the corner where the empty bounding box was because it incorporates the mystery bounding box with the object's natural bounding box.

I'm running CS5 on a Windows machine with 8gigs of RAM.

Illustrator Scripting :: Creating Bounding Rectangle And Selecting Particular Objects?

Aug 23, 2012

I'm extremely new to scripting; I managed to create a script to extend the artboard of my documents (which I was extremely proud of given my inexperience!) and another to align a couple of objects alongside each other, but my attempts to script some new code has met with failure.
 
Firstly, I need some Illustrator CS4 Javascript code that will create a bounding rectangle for the selected object(s). The selected object(s) will always be rectangular; no irregularly-shaped objects. I know this should be simple, but I can't work out the variables/attributes involved.
 
Secondly, some code to select the leftmost object in a document. And the equivalent for the rightmost object.
 
If it makes any difference, I'll be stitching these scripts together with an action to achieve the following workflow.

Two EPS files are dragged into an empty document as 'Linked Files'.The two Linked Files are aligned alongside each other. (Using a script I've already written.)The leftmost Linked File is selected and has a bounding rectangle created, which is then used to mask the Linked Object.The rightmost Linked File is then selected and has a bounding rectangle created, which is then used to mask the Linked Object.Both masked Linked Files are selected, and a bounding rectangle is created to mask them into the same Clipping Mask group.The artboard is set to the dimensions of this combined masked pair (I've managed to write that script already).The Linked Files are embedded into the document. 

The reason for this is because we have EPS map files exported from AutoCAD that are left- and right-hand pages. These need to be combined into one file, but when they are brought in they lose their masks as the BBOX element is not recognised by Illustrator. The double-masking in my process above is needed to ensure that content from either map doesn't overlap the other half of the map.

Illustrator :: Create Single Path To Type On Not Compound Path From Many Paths?

May 11, 2012

I have some negative space I created(black area, see first image) that I want to fill with type, not just a simple fill.
 
Basically I want to create the negative space from a bunch of small minus signs(-) that need to line up as they go across. If I type on each path one at a time as the text doesn't line up that way. This needs to be one continuous path. (see second image)
 
Unfortunately if I add them together, it creates a compound path, which you cannot type on, unless I am mistaken? So I need them to be a path, not a compound object.
