[Plugin] Recall last tool v1.2

Einstein · 13 Jan 2018, 14:08

The RB file has a very strange name: "Recall_last_tool%5Bv1.2%5D.rb" and its installation caused a bugsplat in SU17. I changed RB name to "Recall_last_tool" and bugsplat didn't appear anymore

Actually it shows up that way when you download it because Windows doesn't resolve the square brackets in file names. You could have edited the file name and removed %5B and %5D and been just fine.

Hi!

This plugin works well with native SU tools but causes serious problems when combined with plugins. For example: when I perform RotaScale (ThomThom), 3D Rotate (Eneroth) or Free rotate (TIG) and then try to Recall it, it leads to bugsplat.

When I use Extrude Lines [D. Bur], then Recall Last Tool it just "omits" it and brings a native tool I used proviously.

I'd really like to test it with more plugins and see what happens but it takes too long, with one bugsplat after another...

This is a very old plugin...

When you installed its RBZ it will have added a RB file into your Plugins folder.
Looks like this is loading and breaking things.

It's named something like:
Recall_last_tool%5Bv1.2%5D.rb

Open your Plugins folder and remove it...
Then retry starting SketchUp...

Your profile says you use v8 [but that is very old and I suspect it's out of date !], but if it is so then your Plugins folder is probably here:
C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 8\Plugins

Otherwise if you have a newer version it's probably found here:
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2017\SketchUp\Plugins

That AppData folder might be hidden by default, but pasting the full path in a Windows Explorer window's top-bar should open it, otherwise reset your Folder-Options to show hidden content...

Eneroth has a similar extension, not free though. SU2016 + only.

Hello Matt,

This is a very old thread, but I have to give it a shot. I'm running latest SketchUp - V21.1. Extensions I install are (.rbz) file type, but the file you have here for download is (.rb). How can I install it?

I needed a tool to repeat last command since I started working on SketchUp 3 years ago! I really, really wish to have it. Thank you

To install a lone RB file you need to put it into your Plugins folder...
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2021\SketchUp\Plugins
Restart SketchUp to see if it loads OK...
It is an old plugin...
