It used to work well.But recently I upgraded my Android Studio to 2.3 and I find the hierarchy viewer disappears.I can't find it both in the sdk/tools directory and the Android Device Monitor.

Latest build tools (25.3.0) removes hierarchy viewer.

4Hierarchy Viewer is not the Layout Inspector. Similar functionality, but different tools. – BlotCoo May 18 '17 at 00:38

"The Layout Inspector available in Android Studio 2.2 is an early release. It's a work in progress that will supersede the Hierarchy Viewer tool once it is feature complete. For now, it provides a quick solution to inspect the view properties of your layout without leaving the IDE. " I find it in http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/layout-inspector.
According to it the Hierarchy Viewer is removed and we should use the layout inspector instead?

You can find it in the Android Studio with path
Tools > Android > Android Device Monitor > Window > Open perspective > Hierarchy View
You can refer this very detail post for more.
