Unable to get the Hand Tool

Hello,

I am extremely new to Unity and I just had this issue where the Hand Tool is no longer present on the Transform tool's toolbar. I am stuck with the Eye tool (I think it is for the camera).

How do I get the Hand tool back?

I added a picture since I am not sure if I am using the correct terms for everything. Thanks for any help.

 

You may press play and stop afterwards. That usually "unlocks" the eye.

Out of curiosity, what are you doing to achieve that? I had trouble with that too, submitted a bug report and that issue should be resolved now.

 

The way I got it to happen was I would put the change the view to a side view, by pressing the "X" on the view toolbar. Then I hold Alt and press RMB. This tends to get it to happen to me. It also seems to alter the view of the stuff.

Then I have to close and restart Unity to get it back to normal.

I will try your suggestion when I get home. Thanks for the tip.

 

Much later to this post, but I'm having nearly the exact same problem. It's reoccurring though.

When I edit terrain height and accidentally left and right click simultaneously I get locked on the eye tool.
Thankfully the play and pause trick work, but it happens every time I'm editing height. Wish there was a way I could make it stop.

Any suggestions? Thank you

 

Submit a bug report.

 

Press play and stop and the eye chage to hand again xD

 

This still happens.

 

Keeps happening to me tonight when placing waypoint markers for RAIN AI. Unity 5.1.1f.

 

This seems to be caused by custom editor scripts toggling the Tools.hidden value. It occasionally happens while using any of our project's custom tools which take over scene view control. I'm not quite sure the fix yet, but I'll post if I find anything else.

 

I just experienced this bug as well.

edit: Unity version 5.3.5.f1

 

This is F***ing annoying. This keeps happening randomly. A few months back I could get out of it by rage-clicking around in the scene view, but today I actually had to restart Unity!

5.3.5f1

 

I've had this crop up for myself as well. I've been working on a simple custom editor tool that uses raycasts from the camera into the scene view to pick different gridsquares on a cube. I thought maybe "eating" the events with Event.current.use was somehow causing the issue, but even disabling those lines of code didn't seem to help. Any help would be much appreciated, this is very annoying.

 

1. Go to the Giro in the top right of the scene view
2. On the top right of the Giro there is a Lock, open it

This resolved it for me =)

 

Yo también tuve ese mismo problema pero lo solucioné eliminando y volviendo a colocar la pestaña de escena (#Scene)

 

Had same issue where I added a 2nd Camera and my hand tool stopped working on my scene. The fix for me was in the Layout settings. Window --> Layouts --> Reset All Layouts (say yes to scary prompt to delete scene settings).

...and back to normal
