          Where does this plugin locate itself? I have it installed, the toolbar works fine but when I look in the plugins folder the PenTool+.rb or a folder holding the icons are nowhere to be found. I am confused (as usual).

            Look for a folder called 'rob_hsltool'

            The 'Draw' menu contains the modes of drawing also

              Not there that I can see. Weird. Here is my plugins folder and a screen shot of the toolbar active.

                Any chance that's your SU7 Plugins directory?

                  Nope, I checked and the folder you see is here:
                  C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins

                  This is my SU7 Plugin folder.

                      Well that is what I downloaded from the first post in this thread. I can delete it from the plugins folder and I still get the pen tools to show up when I start SketchUp. They have to be referenced somewhere I just don't see it. I even did a search on the computer and they don't show up either. Maybe if I restart my machine it will go away???
                      Odd.

                        Well I'm the wrong gut to ask. I probably contributed to 5-10% of the earlier part of this plugin. I'm not blaming TIG for this behaviour but maybe he can shed some light on this?

                        I can't see how this can happen because the .rb clearly states to look in the 'rob_hsltool' folder for the toolbar icons. You have neither in your Plugins folder? Have you 'show hidden files' enabled? In case you accidentally hid them πŸ˜•

                          Yep, show hidden files is on and after restarting and not having the zip file, the ruby file or that image file folder in the computer at all I still get the pen tools showing up.

                              I know right!?

                              One thought, since I am on a network here it might have been installed somewhere other than my machine and is pointing there...? Just a thought.

                                          That sounds like a language-handler issue - do you have the standard files like sketchup.rb and langhandler.rb in the Tools folder ?
                                          If you type [copy+paste] $exStrings in the Ruby Console it should return this

                                          #<LanguageHandler;0xb7d5f2c @strings={"Select first end"=>"Select first end", "Point at Center"=>"Point at Center", "Box"=>"Box", "Create Box"=>"Create Box", "Material"=>"Material", "Adds examples of tools created in Ruby to the SketchUp interface.

                                          If not then that's the issue... not this actual tool per se, but your setup πŸ˜•
