  • can’t see bounding boxes or pan behind tool

    Posted by Joey Burnham on March 17, 2010 at 6:44 pm

    Hi,
    Looked at online help and couldn’t find anything. It must be a switch somewhere that I’m not finding.
    Where is the switch to toggle on / off viewing of the bounding boxes for layers and the pan behind tool?
    Thanks,
    Joey

    thank you kind sir! I’m working at somebody else’s desk and they had this turned off. Never had to change it before.

    There are also shortcuts:

    “# To choose which layer controls to show in a view, choose View > View Options, or press Ctrl+Alt+U (Windows) or Command+Option+U (Mac OS).
    # To show or hide layer controls in a view, choose View > Show Layer Controls, or press Ctrl+Shift+H (Windows) or Command+Shift+H (Mac OS). This command also shows or hides the 3D reference axes.”

    from “Show or hide layer controls in the Composition panel”

    Thank you. I was having the same problem on one of the computers at my school.
