Missing pencil tool!

My pencil tool has disappeared from the Toolbox after the upgrade to 2015 CC Illustrator on my desktop Mac!

I know it must be here somewhere - but I've looked everywhere and it's certainly gone - see screengrab below.

I'm going crazy - or blind? Please help me keep my sanity by telling me where the dang thing has disappeared.

Thank you

David

Try to use the key "N". It is now hidden beneath the Shaper tool.

  • Cannot find pencil tool

    Hi, trying to find the pencil tool. I have the pen and the brush but not the pencil. I am incredibly new to have, I run on windows 7. I found a thread and tried to reset the plug-ins and preferences, but has not yet worked. It works fine as far as I can say otherwise. If all goes well, he will miss just something stupid.

  • Pencil tool stop making circles or squares instead of organic forms more personalized. Help!

    Right now I'm working on one, and I try to use the pencil tool to create a more organic form, customized to suit my purpose. Recently however, every time I try to the desired shape, that I want with a pencil, it usually comes down to a circle, sometimes a square. The whole point of me using the pencil is so I can get the specific shape I want, if I wanted a circle or a square I could easily use other tools to make! I'm sure I've done before with a more organic forms moderately modified to be more straight lines or smooth curves, but now when I used the pencil lately for a custom shape, it just turns and I could use a tool to make easily forms! Please help me get the pencil tool to create organic forms again!

    While you're using the pencil tool there is an icon in the Toolbox, at the end of the icons. It is the fashion of the pencil. Try to replace that straighten in ink,

  • The path selected with the pencil tool editing... CS5 vs CC

    I know this is an old issue and I've complained about this over and over. In CS5 I can select several paths and then, using the pencil tool, freely change paths without losing the multi-path selection. It is a great way to tweak a form of paint. CC (2014), it is no longer possible (at least on Mac). Technical support Adobe told me once he was a Bug "Mac admits. Can someone tell me if this feature was "set in CC 2015? Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't bother to fix bugs in the 'old' version They drive just a new version.

    This small function is of the main reasons that I refuse to CS5 to let die on my computer. If this is fixed, I would consider 'redeveloped' to 2015 CC.

    Here is an old video explaining the problem:

    Not been resolved in CC2015 (although I can't see the video, I have to sign).

    As soon as you change a selected path, others get deselected.

  • Pencil tool switches between black and white colors

    I've been using the pencil tool in Photoshop for a while, but he started to behave differently.

    When I have the foreground color, white color, and black background, the pencil tool draws in black. If I make a new line over an area that is black, it changes and performs the selection with white. It does behave like this for any other color as far as I can tell, and the layers do not seem to impact. The mode is too normal. Is attached a picture of my layout, the black caps were made while white was the foreground color, and white in the middle of the black has been selected above them, with the same settings. Is this a problem of content aware? How can I make my pencil draw blank again?

    Uncheck Auto clear in the options toolbar and see if that makes a difference.

  • Pencil tool not snapping at the starting point.

    Hello!

    I have worked with the pencil for a while now and it starts a bit to annoy me that it won't be a link to its starting point anymore.

    He used to have the same effects as the right pen tool? When you want to bind the endpoint to the starting point, it should be a circle.

    Is there someone who could help me, or just pencil tool does not work like that?

    Double-click the pencil tool, there is an option to close paths

  • The 2015 CC/brush flash pencil tool does not work with Cintiq

    I recently bought a Wacom Cintiq 22HD and all new Adobe software.  I mainly use Photoshop and Flash to the drawing and animation. (Before I was running cs6 products on windows 7 on a Tablet and everything worked fine).

    My configuration: Lenovo IdeaPad Y 50-70.  Windows 8.1.  Wacom Cintiq 22HD with latest driver. Adobe Flash CC 2015.

    The main problem I have is in Flash.  Everything works fine in Photoshop, I can draw on the screen without problem.  But I can't use the brush or pencil in Flash tool. When I draw the mouse, all right. When I use the pen, he made this super long line on the side of the document.  If I try to draw something, he's going to draw, but super far from where it is supposed to. The strange thing is that when I use the brush with a normal mouse tool, it works fine. When I use the online tool, pen tool or other tools, my cintiq pen works very well. It is ONLY the brush and pencil tools when using my Cintiq. I have to be able to draw with my Cintiq in Flash.


    Are there any solutions for this problem? Help, please!

  • Interim of weird pencil tool

    My pencil is not giving me the pencil strokes fragmentary, it's supposed to. Instead now it acts more like a brush instead of the pencil.

    The brushes in the view of brushes that have all hard edges when they usually have softer edges as my other tools that work very well.

    I don't know if I pressed something or what.

    You can try to reset by right clicking the pencil tool ' icon in the options at the top bar and choosing the tool reset in the menu.

  • Bug report: Illustrator CC 2015, Tablet spotted pencil tool error

    When you use the pencil tool in Illustrator CC 2015 with a Tablet (Wacom) the red dotted line outline only draws on the screen for a short distance before failing to update other. The line appears as usual when the tip of the stylus leaves the Tablet, the only error is with the preview dotted red line.

    My tablet drivers are up-to-date, and the problem does not occur when you use a mouse. This may be a problem with my tablet, and I am student who further, just thought I'd post to see if anyone else has this problem.

    Thank you!
