Question
I am using Illustrator CS and I just want to draw a cricle. I have only the rectangle tool but no eclipse tool on the tool bar. I am new to AI but the circle/eclipse tool should be in the tool bar or any convenient place.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Answer
Hi Ricky,

Your eclipse tool is there it's just not shown.  If you click and hold on the rectangle tool, you will see the other choices come up. Then click and release on the eclipse and you'll have it.
If you have any other questions please dont'hesitate to ask.

Thank you,

Tom
