Selection tool is missing bounding box... show bounding box not available

This has happened to me before but it's just here and there. Seems like a glitch but it's very annoying, indeed. I have had some luck with just quitting Illustrator and going back in again.

i just got this issue with Ilustrator this morning. I can't resize an object. I used to be able to just hold the command key and the shape would have handles appear. now it doesn't do anything, and i have to toggle to the transform tool in the tool menu.

any solution for this?

I'm having the same problem. I have tried all the above commands with no joy. The bounding box toggles appear when I want to scale an image but not when I want to scale a simple box.

Can anyone help?

Had the same issue when working with classroom in a book chapter 3 trying to make the curtains wider. I was able to get tehe bounding box with the hot key but no option in the show menu to turn it on or off. We are using CS6.

I am having the same problem. I've tried Cmd+Shift+B as well as going through the menu bar and manually selecting hide/show bounding box. The bounding box is still not there. I haven't touched the tool box as far as I know so I am up in arms as to the reason why it went away. If you have any insight please let me know!!

The toggle for Bounding boxes is Cmd + Shift + B. See if it works.

If it doesn't it's no big deal. You've got tools for doing everything you need to do.

Personally I hate bounding boxes and am perfectly happy without them.
