Author Bounding box thickness

Is it possible to increase the thickness of the bounding box lines?

Sometimes I have a tough time grabbing the skinny little things (say as in the case of a thick stroked line, but grabbing it in the center if awkward).

I can work around it of course, but just wondering if I am missing something painfully obvious.

Thanks.

Nick,

Is it possible to increase the thickness of the bounding box lines?




No; neither is it possible to increase sizes of handles etc, see this thread: <http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc0f65e>

But you should be able to see the Tool change/marking when you are there.

Nick:

Do you really mean "bounding box" because you can't grab it except at the corner and midpoint nodes? If you mean anchors and path manipulation with the Direct Select Tool (white arrow), turn on View> Smart Guides (Ctrl + u is the toggle) to see little des
criptions of what you are in clickable range of. The shrinking interface problem referenced in Jacob's link will have to be addressed soon by Adobe. steve

Jacob,

Thanks for the thread. I check often but clearly missed that one.

Steve,

Yes, I meant path but said bounding box. My thoughts were about moving an object as opposed to resizing.

Thanks.
