    May one easily toggle between tools?

    In other programs, for example, if one is using the "line tool" one may press on the space bar and the tool goes back to the "select tool". He may press on the space bar again and the tool goes back to the "line tool".

      wanted this for years... It would be nice if it worked in plugin actions too.

        May we petition Trimble to include this basic feature?

          How do you type 7 5/8" then? Space bar is taken. First you need a petition to kill feet and inches.

              Matthieu NOBLET released a plugin Recall_last_tool.rb that worked with SU7, but I've found it didn't appear to work with SU201* versions.

                JGA, perhaps because it has to be *.rbz and not *.rb

                  djh,
                  *.rb is the ruby file in plain txt format
                  *.rbz is the more modern version that is a ruby file compressed in a ZIP file, with the extension changed from .zip to .rbz.

                  Regards,

                    Depending on what kind of errors occur, that could be because SketchUp changed from Ruby 1.8 to Ruby 2.0 in 2014, or it could be due to changes in the SketchUp API. It is quite common for older plugins, especially way back to SU7, to need updating for new versions of SketchUp.
