  • Tool selection Illustator CS4 and Vista 64 Bit

    Posted by Craig Marshall on March 23, 2009 at 4:26 pm

    I am using Illustator CS4 on a Vista 64 Bit machine with a Wacom tablet.

    My problem is this: I cannot get to any tool on the toolbar unless it is the one visible on the toolbar, i.e., when I click a tool with the little “more to be seen” arrow in the lower right corner, nothing happens (the tool should extend and allow selection of the formerly unseen tools). If I hold and click I get the little Vista grey ring and then nothing. If I double click I open the visible tools properties.

    I have tried both the pen (my preferred pointer) and the Wacom mouse.

    I have no clue what to do here.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Wow, I get to answer my own question!

    Click and drag to the side pulls open the extender pallet.

    Not what I would have expected, but there it is.

    (I never thought frustration could be productive.)
