Smooth Tool/Pen Tool

So, I can't find the smooth tool or the pencil tool on the drop down box, where all my other tools usually are. Could it be possible that it's been relocated somewhere else or do I just have to reset my Illustrator App on my computer?

P.S- I have the new 2018 version of Adobe Illustrator.

Please and Thank You

Hi,

In 2018 and 2017 versions pencil and smooth are under Shaper Tool now.

Because they keep adding new tools to the application.

You might need to show the advanced toolbar. Window > Toolbar > Advanced.

Please read the documentation.

Is there a way to put Smooth tool below Pencil tool, and make them separate from the Brush tool? This new setting makes my way of working impossibly difficult.

You might want to read the documentation, particularly that part about custom toolbars: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html#Customizethetoolbar
