Direct selection tool and bounding box problem

Community Beginner ,
Mar 24, 2017 Mar 24, 2017

Hello,

I just updated to Animate CC 2017.  When I use the direct selection key "v" on the keyboard, there's no longer a bounding box around my selection...ie I can't see what I've selected.  I know it's actually selecting things because I can select and delete or move no problem.  The problem is that there's no bounding box indicating what's selected or if anything is selected.  It's driving me crazy.  Any solutions or is this a bug?

Also, and more of a minor issue, I'm having a problem with the free transform tool, "q" on the keyboard.  When I move the pivot point to a corner, to rotate not from the centre, the object is displaced way out of the bounding box...making life annoying.  When I do rotate, everything works and the image is snapped back to where it should be.  Also, the new pivot point isn't remembered when I make a new keyframe.  This used to work fine in the previous version of animate.

Thanks,

André

The bounding box for Drawing Objects has been deprecated in recent versions of Animate. Instead, the outline appears exactly around the shape. You can place the art into a Group if you want to see a rectangular bounding box.

The pivot point should be remembered if it is just a simple Drawing Object, Group or Symbol. Is there more than one thing being selected? In that case it wouldn't be assigned for more than temporary usage on the mixed selection.

Thanks for the response ClayUUID​ but it didn't work.  Hide edges doesn't seem to do anything for me
