I had imagined the toolbox would be launched from a menu item. I still haven't decided which top-level menu this item will best fit in. I can make a new Edit>Select menu for this item and the other selection items, or I can put it under PlugIns>Surveyos>Selection or Tools>SurveyOS>Selection or even Tools>Selection. What do you think? Once the toolbox is up the actual cursor tool will be launched with a button. You wrote: "If you want a wrench icon, Wrench.gif and WrenchCursor.gif are already in the images folder. Also BigWrench.gif." That is just what I needed. Thank you. SS On 9/11/07, Larry Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi SS, > > Congrats! Sounds like a cool new tool.
