Why don't I have this? I'm seeing it used in a lynda.com training video on Illustrator CC...

Correct answer Regunathan PL

That's an Advanced illustrator option

Goto Window > Toolbars > Advanced (set it to Advance mode)

Now you can see line segment tool on the left of your work space

Right click on Line Segment Tool

and

Choose Rectangular Grid Tool

Goto Window menu then hover the mouse pointer on Toolbars a new menu bar appears then select Advanced. Hurrah! Rectangular Grid tool appears.

Well, First of all there is no "Toolbars" nor "advanced" menu anywhere in "Windows". I could only change some by choosing different Workspace profiles like "essentials", "painting" etc... Tried them all but no mater what right clic on any tools did NOTHING... So no grid tool for me I guess. Time to go play with Affinity me thinks...

Which version of Illustrator is it then?

And please show screenshots.

MystiMac,

Is it not in the flyout when you ClickHold the mouse over the Line Tool?

Hi Jacob,

Thanks, yes, in the meanwhile, I did find it in the flyout behind the line tool. I'd been looking for it under the shape tool. So, problem solved. And thanks again for your prompt (and correct) response.

Never mind. I found the tool in the flyout under the line tool. Go figure!
