Hi Edson... I hope you do not know!! I'm cursed...
So : Draw a . Draw a . Press space bar for .
Go to Plugins/Recall last tool. Rectangle tool is now recalled.If it does not work, can you open your ruby console, and try again, please?
And, at last, can you call rectangle tool, and try to copy this code in the ruby console ?Sketchup.send_action(21022)
This code calls selection tool.
Thank you Edson. And sorry for the inconvenience. -

Sketchup.send_action(21022)
This code calls selection tool.
Thank you Edson. And sorry for the inconvenience.
On differenct OS's, even the same OS with different menus, that magic number will have changed.
What's wrong with Sketchup.send_action(selectSelectionTool:);
When the menu structure is updated, then the call will still work even tho the menu id has changed.

Bravo Matt !!
at the very beginning of my learning SketchUp, I was surprised not to have this feature at disposal. And then I was accustomed to always recall my tools. And Here comes your ruby. It is as if suddenly we had won a great lightness. (F2 is great)it already belongs to my toolbox. simon

Merci Simon !

Hi pecan! Are you sure of that? I use only two different numbers in my code. The rest is a recall of the last number used.
But there's a biiig problem with Mac... On Mac, function "send_action" does not accept integers. Only strings!@edson said:

Ouch. I will try to find a solution. Can you test this code below, please?Sketchup.send_action("21022")
-
it looks good!
-
Ok. But if you have rectangle tool called, when you copy and validate the code, is the selection tool activated?
-
i drew a rectangle, then pressed the space bar, then used the script from the menu. the result is in the picture.
-
Sorry Edson, and all mac users. But I can't do anything with this bug. Function 'send_action' doesn't accept integers (so tool IDs) on Mac.

Result from SU ruby console
(eval)
result = Sketchup.send_action "selectSelectionTool:"
trueI was in error suggesting it was a num.

Using the tool name should work:
def onActiveToolChanged (tools_object, toolname, toolid) print tools_object, toolname, toolid @@Matt_Model_Toolid = @@Matt_Model_Toolid2 if @@Matt_Model_Toolid2 #@@Matt_Model_Toolid2 = toolid if not([21022,10508].index toolid) @@Matt_Model_Toolid2 = "select#{toolname};"; puts "1; #{@@Matt_Model_Toolid} 2; #{@@Matt_Model_Toolid2}" end

Well... almost.
"selectCameraOrbitTool:" doesnt work.
It's action name is simply OrbitTool.
So maybe a hash of returned tool names and the send_action name.sendActionToolName = {"CameraOrbitTool", "OrbitTool", } etc.
Or maybe a hash of just the exceptions.Its a shame SU has to be so inconsistent.

Here's a list of the send_actions and the actual tool name returned by the observer.
howRubyPanel; viewBack; viewBottom; viewFront; viewIso; viewLeft; viewRight; viewTop; viewPerspective; viewShowAxes; viewShowHidden; viewZoomExtents; viewZoomToSelection; viewUndo; selectOrbitTool; (CameraOrbitTool) ok selectPositionCameraTool; selectDollyTool; (CameraDollyTool selectTurnTool; selectWalkTool; (CameraWalkTool) selectZoomTool; (CameraZoomTool) selectFieldOfViewTool; (CameraFOVTool) <=== inconsistency selectZoomWindowTool; (CameraZoomWindowTool) pageAdd; pageDelete; pageUpdate; pageNext; pagePrevious; renderWireframe; renderHiddenLine; renderMonochrome: renderShaded; renderTextures; ok selectArcTool; selectAxisTool; (SketchCSTool) ok selectCircleTool; ok selectEraseTool; ok selectFreehandTool; selectLineTool; (SketchTool) ok selectMeasureTool; ok selectMoveTool; ok selectOffsetTool; ok selectPaintTool; selectPolygonTool; (PolyTool) ok selectProtractorTool; ok selectPushPullTool; ok selectRectangleTool; ok selectRotateTool; ok selectScaleTool; ok selectSectionPlaneTool; ok selectTextTool; ok selectDimensionTool; ok selectExtrudeTool; ok selectSelectionTool; editUndo; editRedo; editHide; editUnhide; fixNonPlanarFaces; axes is returning SketchCSTool 3d text is returning 3DTextTool plugins return RubyTool orbit return CameraOrbitTool pan returns CameraDollyTool zoom returns CameraZoomTool field of view returns CameraFDVTool zoom window returns CameraFOVTool zoom extends return CameraZoomWindowTool walk return CamerWalkTool look returns CameraPanTool line returns selectSketchTool
Except for "selectFieldOfViewTool: (CameraFOVTool)" you can remove "Camera" from the observer reported name and prefix "select".
Special cases are PolyTool, Line tool, and axis tool.On second thought, a hash like {reportedObserverName, sendSelectName} might be the best bet.

The following seems to work, and you can add to the exceptions hash when you find 'em.
Hope this helps some...

Hi pecan!
Sorry, I didn"t test your plugin, but I think it doesn't work with plugins. So Non native tools...
I will test it! Thank you for that Pecan!
