Custom shape tool missing from Photoshop CC tool bar

Hi

I am a subscriber to Photoshop and Lightroom CC and have just noticed (I need to draw a circle) that there is no custom shape tool in the left hand side tool bar; I've always just assumed it was there before. I've checked around and it seems as if it should be there but mine just isn't.

Any help gratefully received

Nick Garnett

Hover your mouse over the line tool (just above the Hand tool) and select the Custom Shape tool from the menu which appears.

That's very kind of you, just seemed to slip out of my mind, maybe because I'm on holiday in France and the sun and Beaujolais has got to me.

Thanks again

I have the same problem - and none of the solutions given in this thread works. I don't see a line tool either, and restoring defaults did not bring shape tool back...any ideas?
