View the hit area by enabling buttons

When the Enable Simple Buttons feature is active, you can view the less complex aspects of your buttons, such as the hit area (the clickable area of a button) and the colors used for the button states. More complex button design, such as animation, does not play.

1. Click in an empty space in the work area, to make sure you don't have any objects selected.
2. Select Control > Enable Simple Buttons, and then move the mouse pointer over different areas of the button that you created.

   The only areas of the button that are clickable (as indicated when the pointer changes to a hand) are the text area and the logo. The white space around the text and logo are not clickable.

   

3. Select Control > Enable Simple Buttons again to deselect the feature so that you can edit the button.

Next, you'll redefine the hit area so that the button area covers the entire grouped area.
