      You could attach it to the onNewModel event. Think there was a plugin that ensured the Select tool was activated upon opening or creating new models using that event....

        The line tool is my favorite SU tool, with the eraser a close second, and then select comes in at No.3 I think. 😄

        And yes, someone did write a startup tool script....I don't recall who or what it was called exactly though. I never used it since I love the pencil so much 🎉

          I'm with Martin here. The pencil is usually not the tool I start to use. Select all the way! 🤓

            Perhaps you were thinking of SelectAtStartup by yours truly 😉

            It used observers to check for SU launch, file load, and new file actions to ensure that the Select tool was the default tool any time the active model changed.

              Sweet and simple, Rick. Plus, you get model opening, which I missed.

                This doesn't seem to work for me on my setup (Mac 10.6 , latest SU Pro). Does the code need updating?

                  Which are you trying to use? Martin's code or Ricks?

                      YES! YES! YES! thankyou very much Rick. this has always bugged me since about 9 of 10 times i'm opening an existing model and have no use for the pencil. 😄 and thank you too Martin for bringing the topic up.
