Want a quick way to fit a frame to some placed artwork? You can use the Control panel, or keyboard shortcuts, but sometimes it’s most convenient to just double-click on the frame itself. And where you double-click on the frame will determine the results you get.
If you double-click any corner point with either the Selection tool or the Direct Selection tool, the frame will resize to fit the entire art.
If you double-click on the control points in the middle of the top or bottom sides with the Selection tool, the frame will fit the image height, but the width will be unaffected.
If you double-click on the control points in the middle of the left or right sides with the Selection tool, the frame will fit the image width, but the height will be unaffected.
