AQHA1041 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 My left side toolbar has gone missing. I've restarted my mac. I've looked to see if designer needed updating - no. I've checked to see if my mac's operational software needed to be updated - I'm good. I also refreshed studio too. I did recently get a Huion drawing tablet and connected it and was working fine. Not sure if that caused something to go awry. The only thing I think that might have made it disappear is that I had it hooked up to a monitor. But that really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me why that would interfere. Screenshots are of a file I previously was working on therefore why I have objects. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Guest Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hello AQHA1041, If the solution given by jmwellborn does not work and if also the studio has disappeared, type the "tab" key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwellborn Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I was wrong. It is View>Show Tools. While driving just now, I thought, “OH, Heavens. Wrong menu.” Quote 24" iMAC Apple M1 chip, 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, 16 GB unified memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Ventura 13.6. Photo, Publisher, Designer 1.10.5, and 2.3.

I'm not understanding what you mean by type the "tab" key. Studio is visible if you are referring to this (see screenshot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tools run down the left side, outside the vertical ruler. View > Show Tools will restore them. By the way, I would also recommend View > Show Context Toolbar. There are a lot of good controls that you'll miss without that bar showing. It should appear between the Toolbar and the horizontal ruler.

That resolved my problem. And yes sometimes the items in the context toolbar show up and sometimes they don't. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
