illustrator question

I know a lot of people use Adobe here so I figured I might find an answer. When I select a graphic in Illustrator, I get the bounding boxes around it, but I'm unable to scale, rotate it , etc. I can still right click and use the transform prompt boxes, but I'd like to be able to do it with the bounding boxes. Is there a toggle somewhere in preferences that I'm not seeing?

hello homegrown,

i use illustrator not very often. but a while ago i had a similar problem like you. trying to reproduce it i did not succed.
if i now use the normal selection tool on a group or a graphic i am able to scale and rotate it with the bounding box just normally.
what i had done in the past was selecting the free transform tool (shortcut E) and this did it. don“t know why it works now different from how it did in the past?!

hope this is a bit of help
cheers
michael
