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
