If you’re like most people, you use the default toolbar in Adobe Illustrator to get the job done. But there are plenty of other toolbar configurations out there that can make your work faster and easier. In this article, we’ll show you how to customize your toolbar so that it’s just the way you want it. To start, open Illustrator and select File > New > Custom Toolbar. In the Custom Toolbar dialog box, type in a name for your new toolbar (like “My Custom Toolbar”), and then click OK. Now, in the toolbar area at the top of Illustrator, drag and drop a group of icons from the Standard Icons panel onto your new toolbar. (You can also find this panel on the Window menu.) Next, click on each icon in your group to select it. Then, on the Options bar at the top of Illustrator, click on the icon with a plus sign next to it (the “plus” icon). This will open up its Options dialog box. In this dialog box, you’ll need to specify which commands from Illustrator’s menus will be available as buttons in your new toolbar. For example, if you want to be able to access commands like Select All and Type , then you’ll need to check those boxes. Once you’ve set up your options, click OK to close out of the Options dialog box and return to your workspace. Now all of your selected icons will be visible in your new toolbar! ..
