Show Bounding Box with cross diagonals (Illustrator)?

Following tutorials I see their bounding box for say a rectangle has cross diagonal lines (ie intersecting at center) - mine just have the perimeter box outline? Is this a setting or a key press option while drawing the shape?

Thanks appreciate the help.

Are you sure it's Illustrator that's depicted and not InDesign? InDesign has a Frame tool that produces frames with crossmembers like you describe.

Hi Kim,

It would really be helpful if you can share a screenshot of the rectangle so that we can give you the correct suggestion. Please see:

I'm having the same problem. Screen shot of what I thought was a normal view shows the bounding box and crossed diagonal lines. I can see them on older .ai documents. But now they are gone. I just see the outline ofthe bounding box.Screen Shot 2021-03-18 at 3.05.55 PM.png

My files are embedded...as is the image of the plane above. But the diagonal lines do not display.

I keep looking for a setting that has been (accidently?) changed.

Peter,

 

That view of the state park across the bay and the white stuff in the foreground is sorely missed in a certain other thread.

Ah, Peter, I thought it was the most prominent peak across the bay.

 

In any case, a great photo.
