Tool Manager Dialog

Tools management is fully functional only in Classic v.5.

In the Menu-tools.svg Tools Menu, select Menu-tools.svg Manage Tools to open a panel containing the list of the custom tools currently available in the construction, editable info about their main properties (related command name, help, and icon), and the following management options:

  • Delete:
    Select a tool from the list and press Delete to remove the selected tool from the construction.

  • Open:
    Select a tool from the list and press Open to open the tool in a separate GeoGebra window. The tool can be modified and saved such that changes are automatically applied to the construction.

After modifying the tool, select Menu-tools-new.svg Create new tool in Menu-tools.svg Tools Menu to save it. Keeping the same name results in overwriting the existing tool, while giving it a new name saves it as a new tool. To overwrite a tool that is already in use, the types of input and output objects must remain the same.

  • Save as… :
    Select a tool from the list and press Save as… to save the tool on the computer as a .ggt file. This file can be opened in other constructions.

Use the toolbar customization options to add a loaded tool to the toolbar.
