Where is scale tool in Illustrator 2021?

[jemmaB]

HI
I can't seem to find the scale icon on the tools palette on the left side! It's gone. I can access it from drop down but heck... what happened to the tools?

Also it took me 7 + hours today to get any adobe software to work. What a day.

Sounds like you're looking at the Toolbar while it's set to Basic?

Check to see if you need to change it to Advanced.

Edit Toolbar > Advanced to show Scale Tool

Thanks. The new default toolbar is missing too many things! set it back to 'essential classic;

I wish I had some say over that!

What's that saying?  If it ain't broke....
