Illustrator features are found both in the “Window” menu or the floating sets of tools called palettes. In many cases, the function that you find on the menu structure can overlap the palettes. You can access a feature by clicking “Windows” from the menu bar. As you select a palette, it appears on the screen.

By clicking the different tabs on the palettes, you can access the different features of function.

The illustrator Tool bar includes selection tools, editing tools, drawing and painting tools, viewing tools, etc. We will learn how to use different tools later in this tutorial.

• Click the Tool Bar to select a tool.

• By clicking and holding down the mouse button on the toolbox with a triangle at the bottom right corner, you can find the additional hidden tools.
