What Happened to My Illustrator Workspace???

We’ve all had it happen…we bump a key on the keyboard and all of a sudden our AI workspace is not what it used to be.  Maybe our bounding boxes have disappeared?  Where did all of our panels go?  What is the funky looking grid doing here and how do I get rid of it?  This is the “what happened” tutorial, and will walk you through troubleshooting what keyboard shortcuts you accidentally hit and how to get back to your Illustrator workspace comfort zone!

You will learn:

  • Where did my panels go? (00:35)
  • Why can’t I select any of my lines or Shapes or points or Anchor Points? (01:09)
  • What happened to the Bounding Box that surrounds my artwork? (02:02)
  • Why are my menus and toolbars missing? (02:44)
  • Why is there a weird grid in my Illustrator workspace? (03:27)
