Friends,

I cannot see the Paintbucket tool in Illustrator CS6. I googled it and some users said it is in the menu together the Gradient Tool, however, my Gradient Tool button doesn't have a menu.

How can I enable the Paintbucket?

Click and hold the Shape Builder Tool

Somebody at Adobe believed people didn't need the paint bucket tool in Illustrator. Go figure.

Needing to do an internet search for the simple paint bucket tool in something like Illustrator is absolutely ridiculous! On the next software update, they're going to hide the "Live Paint Bucket" setting and make people manually put it on the screen via a long rabbit hole of "mess." Watch!

Do you want your tool panel in 10 columns of tools, because nobody dares to decide which ones to group?

If you need it that often, then you might want to learn the shortcut.

i do believe he ment how there is no regular paint tool in illustrator. its crazy there should be a regular paint tool under the live paint tool. every other program has it and this is supposed to be the best for vector art. utterly rediculous to have to select what you want to paint, especially for such an expensive program
