      mmm... works fine with me - is it wrapped in a module?

      
      require 'sketchup.rb'
      
      module MATT_Recall
      
      
      class Matt_Observer < Sketchup;;ToolsObserver
      
      	@@Matt_Model_Toolid = nil
      	@@Matt_Model_Toolid2 = nil
        
      	def onActiveToolChanged (tools_object, toolname, toolid)
      		@@Matt_Model_Toolid = @@Matt_Model_Toolid2 if @@Matt_Model_Toolid2
      		@@Matt_Model_Toolid2 = toolid if not([10508].index toolid)
      	end
        
        
      	def self.recall_last
      		if @@Matt_Model_Toolid
      			return Sketchup.send_action(@@Matt_Model_Toolid)
      		else
      			puts "No tool used before."
      			return Sketchup.send_action("selectSelectionTool;")
      		end
      	end
        
        
      end  #class
      
      Sketchup.active_model.tools.add_observer(Matt_Observer.new)
      
      	
      unless file_loaded?(__FILE__)
         UI.menu('Edit').add_item("RECALL LAST TOOL"){ Matt_Observer.recall_last }
      	file_loaded(__FILE__)
      end
      
      end#module

        just in case anyone else asks, the following is totally fine on my pc:

        
        require 'sketchup.rb'
        
        module MATT_Recall
        
        class Matt_Observer < Sketchup;;ToolsObserver
        
        	@@Matt_Model_Toolid = nil
        	@@Matt_Model_Toolid2 = nil
          
        	def onActiveToolChanged (tools, tool_name, tool_id)
            puts "Tool Used; #{tool_name}"
        		@@Matt_Model_Toolid = @@Matt_Model_Toolid2 if @@Matt_Model_Toolid2
        		@@Matt_Model_Toolid2 = tool_id if not([10508].index tool_id)
        	end
         
        
        	def self.recall_last
        		if @@Matt_Model_Toolid
        			return Sketchup.send_action(@@Matt_Model_Toolid)
        		else
        			puts "No tool used before."
        			return Sketchup.send_action("selectSelectionTool;")
        		end
        	end
          
          
        end  #class
        
        Sketchup.active_model.tools.add_observer(Matt_Observer.new)
        
        	
        unless file_loaded?(__FILE__)
           UI.menu('Edit').add_item("RECALL LAST TOOL"){ Matt_Observer.recall_last }
        	file_loaded(__FILE__)
        end
        
        end#module

          Using the one from the ExtensionStore... but no, it's not. Will try it out, thank you.

          Edit: Still crashes on start. Well, it doesn't work with tools from plugins, anyway.

            Nice tool, but i wish it worked after panning or rotating, avoiding those inputs

              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.

                        Eneroth Tool Memory

                              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...
