vector images don't have a predefined size

History isn't really a concept in Illustrator, because everything is editable after the fact. You can just click items and adjust their properties whenever you want.

Image size can be adjusted using File:Document Setup. Also, when exporting, you can adjust the output image size in raw pixels if you use Save for Web & Devices.

please tell me there is a larger version of this, oh god please
>>161257
to answer your last question i think you mean scale a image. i have cs2 so i'm not sure how cs3 works but in cs2 you select what you want to resize (like a finished vector) by pressing
ctrl + A, then go to "object" and select transform from the menu and finally click on "scale". from there you can increase or decrease the vector based on the starting percent which is 100% btw

hope this helps in w/e your doing and btw a larger version of that sexiness would be much appreciated :)

you can have Illustrator "Show Artboard" to put a rectangle around your artboard but I don't know of any way of forcing it only to show the region inside the artboard. Honestly, you're probably better off zooming in anyway.

Honestly, you're thinking of Illustrator the wrong way. Illustrator is not an image editor like Photoshop, it's a graphic design tool. If you "open an image," all you're doing is creating a new piece of graphic art and dropping the image onto it. You're not editing the image per se.

The artboard is limitless so that you can have large objects of which only a small portion is on the artboard, so that you can do multi-page compositions, etc. During export, you can always force it to crop to the artboard.

That's what Document Setup does, as described in>>161358

if im reading this right you open a image and its smaller than what it is with lots of white before it touches the black outline (portrait or landscape) right? or does it go beyond the black outline? if its smaller just click on the black arrow and resize it so it fits the outline. if its bigger dont worry cuz when you export to photoshop the stuff will still be there even if you went beyond the boundary.
