it s the first time i work with coreldraw, i wanted to use an arrow, but i don't have the common shape tool
My common shapes tool is completely missing from my Corel 2019 application. I only realized this when I went to create an arrow and couldn't find any option for it. My coworkers all have theirs but mine is missing, not just grayed out or unavailable. Has anyone had this issue and corrected it?
I am having the same problem with 2019.
I always use the heart and arrow tools and they have disappeared form toolbar

Hello! Did you find an answer to the missing basic shapes?
Hi I'm having the same problem, but I did the deletion of the _default.cdws file while Corel was closed, and it didn't fix the problem. Any other ideas of how to get those tools back? I had been using them all along, and they just disappeared when my computer restarted itself yesterday. I have Windows set to not update itself without my permission, as it ruins the performance of my RIP software, so it shouldn't have been an update within Windows or anything.
Very strange AKSThomp.Try to export your workspace first (if it is customized), and then switch to the default workspace to see if it appears.If it does, maybe you can start from there and import the important parts of your workspace into the default and save with a new name.If it doesn't appear, try any of the other workspaces.If it still is missing, I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall (try "Repair" first).
In the toolbox, click the Common Shapes tool .
Open the Perfect Shapes picker on the property bar, and click a shape.
Drag in the drawing window until the shape is the size you want.
Like other shapes, shapes that are drawn from the Perfect Shapes picker can be modified.
