How to change perspective consistently

How do you transform the bounding box of an object without it resetting the bounding box on every adjustment. I'm trying to place a card design on a blank stack of cards in illustrator. It seems like it shouldn't take as much fidgeting as I'm experienceing with the Free Distort tool.

You might want to take a look at:

- the 3D effects

- the free transform effect

- this tutorial: http://www.automotiveillustrations.com/tutorials/adobe-illustrator-free-transform-tool.html

Forgot: the perspective grid

and envelope distorts

Hey Monika_Gause, I think that all those methods suffer from the bounding box issue where the bounding box wants to be a rectangle that always returns to a max width/height after a transform is complete on a corner... making the whole thing difficult to really use in an intuitive way. As for the perspective grid... I have the card deck in my example which serve the same purpose - I need a 2D design to match that perspective.

Here is a link of how photoshop handles the whole situation - ideally I'd want to do something similar in illustrator.

*Note how the bounding box stays in place until the transformis complete.

I know how Photoshop handles this. But Illustrator doesn't. So you can either file a feature request and then wait if it gets implemented some time or you just take a look at the options.
