I recently updated my Illustrator CC 2019, and can't use any Advanced Tools. All of the tools in the fly-out are greyed out, and I can't click/access any of them. See screenshot. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator CC 2019, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Hi

I had this problem just now with the latest update for 2020 - everything was greyed out in the addiotnal toolbars, i managed to get round it by chosing basic and then back to advanced again, then i dragged the one i wanted into the toolbar

it was all fine the other day, not sure what the update did to change anything but hope this helps

Same situation. Switched to basic and the pencil tool became available.

This means that the tools are already contained in your current toolbar setup. They are just hidden below other tools. Press and hold those tools and you will see a popup with the other tools. Documentation: How to work with tools in Illustrator
