Be sure to use the Direct Select tool when selecting the anchor. Then the Anchor Point tool bar will show up.

I, too, cannot find the "anchor points" toolbar that shows the icon for "Cut Path at Selected Anchor Points".  Using 25.0.1 on Windows.

Is the control panel there?

Is the point selected with the direct selection tool?

There is no cut path selection tool.

What you are pointing at is a button that (when clicked) will cut a path where an anchor point is selected.

If you want a tool to cut paths, use the Scissors Tool (C)

Hello Ton_Fredeiks, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, Scissots Tool is not helping on my assignment. May I ask for any alternative please?
