Question

Can't select image/object

I wanted to resize the whole object and so I tried selecting it with the white arrow but it wouldn't select!  Everytime I do so, it only shows "path". Please help!

I figured out the issue on my end. As some others described, it has to do with image size. However, I realized that for me, my document was actually incorrectly sized. It was too small. And so the images weren't being selected normally. So, perhaps check the size of your document and make sure that it is correct.

    I also realized that under a certain size, my image could not be selected any more… I just had to make it bigger and I could select it again…

    In my case, when the placed image is scaled/resized to 17mm height and lower, can't select the image but all objects are  fine.

    Use the black selection tool.

    I tried that too but can't. It will only select those small little objects but not the whole image whenever I use the white/black selection tool.

    You might need to show us what it is you're selecting, describe what you expect to happen and what happens instead.
