How to set custom toolbar as default in Illustrator?

Question

I made a custom toolbar in Illustrator to make my workflow simpler, but everytime I reopen Illustrator, it saves the toolbar, but I need to manually put it on my screen. Is there a way to make a custom toolbar default, so it will show up automaticaly whenever I use Illustrator.

Hi Ryan,

Sorry to hear about this. I tried to replicate this issue at my end, however, I was unable to do so. After saving the toolbar, I docked it to the left corner and closed Illustrator.

Next time when I opened Illustrator, the toolbar was there in the same location.

Could you please confirm which OS and version of Illustrator you are working on? Does resetting Illustrator Preferences (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/setting-preferences.html) help to resolve the issue?

Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and Illustrator will launch with default settings. You can also take a backup of the folders in case you want to. Location is mentioned in the article.

Also, please try the suggestion shared by Kurt and share your observations.

Regards,

Srishti
