Question
The Arrow Tool no longer can drag items to make them longer. Say, for example, when i draw a line, then want to make it longer i used to just click and drag with the Arrow Tool and it would extend the line, now that no longer happens. Instead the Arrow Tool simply moves the line to a new location. Did i click some attribute to do this or is it just a program quirk?
thanks
Hi Ben
Go to view>show bounding box. That will fix it right up.
In the future, be sure to look through previous questions and answers as you may find an answer sooner than I can give it. I answered a question exactly like this yesterday. This way you don't have to wait for me unless you have a specific issue. Hope this helps!
Thanks
Kevin
