Illustrator Measure Tool Missing

[trashcaneron]

There's no place to right click the eyedropper in order to select the measure tool. Where'd it go? AI CC 19.

What happens if you go to Window > Work Space and then choose Basic (classic) instead of just Basic?

They have changed the tool bar so that only a shortened version appears, but if you click the 3 dots at the bottom of the bar, you will see all of your tools. You can click and drag any of the tools to the tool bar or as kurtgold​ said, set it to the basic or advanced tool set that you are familiar with. See below:

Hi there,

You can also enable the Advanced toolbar from the Windows menu. Please check the attached screenshot.

Thanks,

Om

Kind of odd to move it IMHO, but cool thanks!

Just - FYI - For me I also had to fiddle with this workspace dropdown in order to get the Measure tool into my tools pallette.

Forget Illustrator's measure tool. It doesn't snap, so it's not precise. Use the line segment tool for measuring.

[trashcaneron]

Agree. But - measuring angles? 

[Monika Gause]

Use the line segment tool. It will show you the angle in the transform panel.
