No Ellipse tool? HELP

Hello, I'm trying to use the ellipse tool but the only thing it has is the rectangle tool. Any help??

There are instructions in the
"Activate a tool" and
"Shortcuts: activating tools" sections of After Effects Help.

  • Ellipse tool not on tool menu

    I can't figure out where the ellipse tool is. I upgraded from Pagemaker 6.5 and really miss it. InDesign CS3 5.5 is harder to learn for some reason. Can anyone help me? Did I need to install something separately?

    It's under the rectangle tool. Just opt+click to toggle through the tools.

  • Ellipse Tool Bug

    Hi,
    I am having an issue with the Ellipse tool. I have drawn a perfect Circle and in Edge it appears that way. However, when I preview in the browser it changes to a rectangle and it changes position relative to the other buttons. See my project below. Any help is much appreciated...

    Hi Adam,
    It looks like the "percent based layout" feature is getting in your way. When I preview your file, the circle becomes an oval, not a square (based on your percent settings).
    You have percent values set for width and height of the circle. Select the circle, then in the "Properties/Position and Size" panel, just click the "%" symbol next to "W" and "H" (width and height), and it will change to pixels, and then your circle won't change to an oval when you preview.
    To stop the circle from changing position, select the circle, then click the "%" symbol under "Properties/Position and Size" panel, next to "L" and "T" (left and top).
    Let me know how it goes!

  • When I open Firefox there is absolutely no toolbar at the top. No 'File' 'Edit' 'View' 'Favorites' 'Tools' 'Help' buttons, no anything. Any idea's??

    When I open Firefox there is no toolbar at all. I have tried deleting and then re-downloading it, but when I click on the icon on my desktop, all that comes up is a page that says "Widgets, Gadgets, RSS feeds, and more." There is no search box to surf the web, there is nothing.

  • Now that I've successfully downloaded FF 7.0 and the orange rectangle has appeared, I can no longer see my tools, help, etc.

    I downloaded ff7.0 and the orange rectangle appeared but now I can no longer find at the top of the page my tools, help, and other things I need,
    Might someone be so kind as to assist me?
    Thank you,
    Leeflea.

    If you prefer the classic menu bar over the new combined Firefox menu, you can switch.
    Tap the Alt key and choose
    View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
    That same menu area lets you show or hide your other toolbars.
    Can you get it back to the way you want?

    You can add a solid color theme to change the color of the top of the browser window, which includes the Menu Bar.

  • How do I get back the File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

    how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

    I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
    Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode.

  • I recently lost the capability to "view" the "File, Edit, History bookmarks, tools & help" bar from the top of my screen, as well as the "Start" button on the bottom of the screen.

    How do I get the "File, Edit, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help Bar to appear on my browser. I also need my "Previous Page & Next Page" arrow... and my "Start" button to appear at the bottom of my screen. I can't navigate without these.

    Be sure you are not in Full Screen Mode. The F11 key will toggle Full Screen Mode on or off. If you have no Firefox toolbars, tab bar, etc., you are probably in Full Screen Mode; your Windows Taskbar (with the "Start" button) will also not be visible.
    *See --> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Netbooks#Full_screen
    You can choose to use the Menu Bar (''File, Edit, History bookmarks, tools & help'') or the Firefox button menu in Firefox 4 and newer versions.
    *See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36
    The Back/Forward button (''Previous Page & Next Page" arrow'') are on the Navigation Toolbar; be sure the Navigation Toolbar is checked (to be displayed)

    Windows Start button and Windows Taskbar:
    *Be sure that "Auto-hide the taskbar" is '''''not checked''''' (if checked, moving the cursor pointer to the bottom of your monitor screen will cause it to slide up; it will disappear again when the cursor pointer is moved up from the bottom
    *It is best to '''check''' "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" so that application windows like Firefox cannot cover it.

  • Sharp Edge using the Ellipse Tool?

    I am using Fireworks 8 and trying to create an atom image but when I create the proton paths using the ellipse tool the edges show up as jagged instead of sharp after flattening the image and uploading as jpg, png or gif files to the server.  I've tried several techniques mentioned in this forum such as feathering the edge, blurring the edge and increasing the resolution.  None of them has worked for me.  Can anyone shed some light as to why the ellipse tool will not create a sharp edge? Is there another way of creating this image using another tool?

    Okay after some more trial and error I got what I wanted by increasing the resolution to 300 and using the following:

  • What is the area up top that has edit, view,history,tools, help? and then I have another question

    I lost the area on top of my page that has
    edit, view, history, tools, help
    what is this area called? and how do I get it
    back?

    You can still use/see the Menu Bar (''File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help'') if you prefer it:
    *'''Temporarily display the Menu Bar''': press the ALT key for the F10 key and make your selections from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar
    *'''Toggle between the Menu Bar and Firefox button'''. Do one of the following:
    **NOTE:
    ***Menu Bar '''checked''' = Menu Bar on, Firefox button off
    ***Menu Bar '''un-checked''' = Menu Bar off, Firefox button on
    **keyboard shortcut: HOLD the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard
    **Using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars, click Menu Bar
    **Using the Firefox Button: click Firefox Button > Options, click Menu Bar
    **right-click on an empty space in one of the toolbars, click Menu Bar

  • Why does the fire fox page change, sometimes it is just an orange fire fox button and othr times it says file, edit, view History, bookmarks, tools, help? I barely learn how to run one version of the page and then it changes

    Why does the fire fox page change, sometimes it is just an orange fire fox button on the top left that opens a panel with all the things listed in it and then it sometimes has a bar across the top that says File, Edit, View, History, bookmarks, tools, Help? I barely get used to using one type of set up and then it changes to the other without me doing anything??

  • The File/edit/view/history/tools/help bar and the Back/refresh/and home buttons that used to be on the top left of the screen are no longer there. I want them back

    I don't know what I did, maybe download a more recent version of firefox, but I no longer have any of the file/edit/view/history/bookmarks/tools/help bar on upper left hand of the screen.
    I also lost the BACK button the refresh or undo button and the home button.
    where did they go and how do I get them back?
    Thanks

    Aha! I found the "refresh" button at the end of the place where I enter the URL. don't know where "home" is yet, but my home page has mysteriously appeared in the tool bar above the URL.
