illustrator bounding box is sized wrongly

[Motion Amilie]

Hi, I'm experiencing this prob on and off.

The bounding box of some objects doesn't match with the actual size of it.

(Not every objects but some.)

I wrote the action I've already tried below.

1. I saved and reopen the file.

2. I changed the view mode.

3. I tried ungroup it. it was just one single object.

4. I tured off the illustrator and restarted.

5. I cut and paste the objects in a new layer or even new document.

it happens quite often which is super annoying.

please help!!

Amilie,

Maybe you have something to the far left included in your object.

You can have a look into the Appearance panel, which may hold a surprise, such as a Compound Path where the left part has a width of 0.

You can also have a look at the artwork in Outline View (hold Ctrl/Cmd and press Y to toggle), and see what it can reveal to the far left when you select/deselect.

Hi Jacob, Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, there was nothing I could find in the Appearance panel.

But actually I found the solution.

Reset Bounding Box did optimized the size of the bounding box!

the shortcut is I newly assigned for it btw

Thank you again! 🙂
