There's an option 'Used Preview Bounds' for that in Preferences, which toggles the behavior. When it’s on, Illustrator includes stroke weight into dimensions, and does not when it’s off.
An error occurred while saving the comment James, there's an option for that already in Preferences, called 'Used Preview Bounds'. It does exactly want you want.

An error occurred while saving the comment @Henry
Yes, the video clarifies it well enough. I feel your pain! Thank you so much for recording and sharing this, it really helps to investigate.
I don't have these problems on my machine... but it VERY much looks like you somehow have you Ctrl key stuck — in this mode Ai treats the cursor position as a snap point, to emulate pre-CS4 version of Smart Guides (kind of).
Does the behavior you experience change when you hold Ctrl?
What options are checked for you in the Smart Guides section of Preferences?
Have you tried to reset you Preferences? (here's handy instruction: https://astutegraphics.com/support/tutorials-and-troubleshooting/resetting-illustrator-preferences)An error occurred while saving the comment Henry (and Martin too), can you record a video or even a GIF (like with LICEcap) that shows what does work for you in your current 24.1.3? I'm trying to replicate these problems, using your text description and I can't. Don't install the 24.2, just show in the previous one.

An error occurred while saving the comment Try to reset you Preferences first (but copy the folder first), and if it won't help — uninstall and reinstall both versions. I am sorry, but it's usually the only thing we can do.

If you still have the problem, please share one of these files with the team: either share them in a comment or send directly to sharewithai@adobe.com (mention the report’s link also, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/40699219)
An error occurred while saving the comment Can it be that someone just renamed these files' extension from, say, TIF to PNG, manually? Have you checked these files?

An error occurred while saving the comment Robert, what format do your placed files have?
If the are in PDF — then it's OK.
Illustrator can only OPEN files in .pdf if they were created in Illustrator itself and have proper settings. If you try to open PDFs from other apps — AI will have to IMPORT them, with the consequences you probably are seeing: clipping masks.
I can advise AstuteGraphics VectorFirstAid plugin to clean such files. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Parijat, you must have accidentally turned Bounding Box off.
Check if it's on for you: View > Show Bounding Box (Ctrl+Shift+B) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Not sure if I get this...
Center is displayed only for live shapes, as far as I know (rectangle and ellipse). Other object would have centerpoints only if you set it in the Attributes panel — and it's not a bounding box one (fat circle), but a normal one (tiny dot).
Can you record a video that shows how it works for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment This is strange indeed. Can you share the file you have this problem in to sharewithai@adobe.com for the team to check it?
Does it help if you copy/paste you artwork into a new file and create artboard there?
Also, do you save it in .ai or .pdf format? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Are you sure that you have the right Draw Order mode?
It's easily changed by pressing Shift+D.
Check for three little buttons in the bottom part of the toolbox. If you have 'Draw Behind' there — change it into 'Draw Normal' -

An error occurred while saving the comment This is a fresh known bug that is hopefully going to be fixed to. This is related to 'Align To' mode autosets to 'Key object' now and a key object is chosen when not needed.

Animated zoom works only in GPU rendering mode and won’t work in specialized modes like Pixel or Overprint Preview — they still rely on CPU calculations.
An error occurred while saving the comment No problem, Michael! If only every Ai's problem could be solved like that, with me answering in the comments! :D
An error occurred while saving the comment Michael, Animated zoom doesn't work for Pixel Preview mode. It works (I hope for now only) only for GPU preview mode. Try to turn Pixel Preview off, make sure you have GPU Preview (not CPU) on, and try again.

An error occurred while saving the comment Emile, RJ's Open Offset is flawed and gives errors on complex paths. If you know nothing about AstuteGraphics and their plugins — I envy you a bit :) They have more refined Open Offset and many more. Subscription based but this is worth every coin. Other plugins by other devs are more specific. On AG's site there is a special page that has a good list.
An error occurred while saving the comment Emile, I hope Adobe won't buy his toolset or AstuteGraphics', or any other 3rd party developers :) They keep Ai afloat.
Yes, buy them for yourself, they are awesome! Some of other tools are a bit obsolete now, but they were irreplaceble back then.An error occurred while saving the comment Wait for the AxoTool plugin imminent release by RJGraffix. It'll basically cover up everything you could need for axonometry (excluding grids).

An error occurred while saving the comment Try Hammerspoon for hotkey remapping instead. Like these fellows do:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43383348/remap-apostrophe-to-other-keys-using-hammerspoon
And I reported this problem further, may be it will finally get noticed.An error occurred while saving the comment Hélène, yes, I remember this problem now! I could have guessed you are from France, sorry.
Indeed this key should be assignable then. Voted.
Meanwhile, if you are on Windows, you can try to use Autohotkey to reassign it to nay other key. This requires some effort, but the community is friendly enough to help and there are a lot of examples. Once you are in, you would have so many possibilities.An error occurred while saving the comment You can still do it now by holding ~ key

An error occurred while saving the comment If you decide to copy an object and start holding Alt, the original; won't show up until you move your cursor further. I believe Ai should redraw the original art the moment you press Alt while holding mouse button (or pen) down.
An error occurred while saving the comment When you drag an art with RTDaE mode on and you have a key object set — the fat bold edge stays in place while you drag it
An error occurred while saving the comment I like that you ask these, but I afraid this can be lost in the list.
1. Please add option to display edges with it. Right now we can have appearance displayed OR edges, and not both.
2. Please give third party developers a way to use this feature.
3. I understand the limitation, but CPU rendering would be awesome too — mostly because of 'grid in front' emulation with Overprint preview.
4. Pattern dragging (with ~ key held) works wrong with R-TDaE
5. Artistic brushes don't get displayed when you draw with them (but updated fine when you edit path with brush applied after drawing)
That's from the top of my head. I hope other users will add more. -

In CC 2019 (latest update 23.0.1), at 100% Zoom 1inch artwork would display at 1inch in physical (Print) size, on any display. If this doesn’t work right for screen design workflows, please use the checkbox Preferences > General > Display Print Size at 100% Zoom, to turn off the feature. Currently this feature works only on primary display, and there are plans of extending this to other attached displays.
An error occurred while saving the comment Print size should influence only documents designed for print!
Now, if you create 100×100px rectangle, using Web profile, you'll have something like 136×136px actual size (screenshot it and measure in PS).
Of course you can enable Pixel Preview to see it in true 100%, or disable the Print Size, but this is just wrong.An error occurred while saving the comment There's a script which does exactly this. You can insert it in the action and assign to an F-key.

An error occurred while saving the comment Just wait for it. Cloud Docs is here soon, and collab could appear later. But not tomorrow.
Well, for now you can use Symbols: create one and place it on a locked layer underneath you art. Use rectangle with no stroke&fill to limit the boundaries of it. Not a final solution, but certainly better then nothing :)
