ARG. While working in illustrator CS3 ( or any of the CS series) I get stuck where I can’t see my selection outlines. It goes like this I’m chugging along and all the sudden I notice that I can’t see my outlines when I select objects. What the hell? Maybe I flubbed some keystroke earlier…can’t [...]
