Static Tool Register this Tool class with the ToolRegistry. Properties Name Type Description _minPoints Protected number _nRequiredPoints Protected number _points Protected Point3d[] Inherited properties Name Type Inherited from Description description Accessor ReadOnly string Tool Get the localized description string from this Tool's class description Accessor StaticReadOnly string Tool Get the localized description for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".description" fromits registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). If that key is not in the localization namespace,flyover is returned. englishKeyin Accessor StaticReadOnly string Tool Get the English keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" fromits registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). flyover Accessor ReadOnly string Tool Get the localized flyover string from this Tool's class flyover Accessor StaticReadOnly string Tool Get the localized flyover for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".flyover" fromits registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). If that key is not in the localization namespace,keyin is returned. hidden Static boolean Tool If true, this Tool will not appear in the list from getToolList. i18n Static I18N Tool The internationalization services instance used to translate strings from the namespace. iconSpec Accessor ReadOnly string Tool Get the iconSpec from this Tool's class. iconSpec Static string Tool The icon for this Tool. iModel Accessor ReadOnly IModelConnection PrimitiveTool Get the iModel the tool is operating against. isDynamicsStarted Accessor ReadOnly boolean InteractiveTool Call to find out if dynamics are currently active. keyin Accessor ReadOnly string Tool Get the localized keyin string from this Tool's class keyin Accessor StaticReadOnly string Tool Get the localized keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" fromits registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). markup Markup MarkupTool maxArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly number | undefined Tool The maximum number of arguments allowed by parseAndRun, or undefined if there is no maximum.If subclasses override parseAndRun, they should also override this method to indicate the maximumnumber of arguments their implementation expects. minArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly number Tool The minimum number of arguments allowed by parseAndRun. If subclasses override parseAndRun, they should alsooverride this method to indicate the minimum number of arguments their implementation expects. UI controls can usethis information to ensure the tool has enough information to execute. namespace Static I18NNamespace Tool The I18NNamespace that provides localized strings for this Tool. receivedDownEvent boolean InteractiveTool Used to avoid sending tools up events for which they did not receive the down event. targetIsLocked boolean PrimitiveTool targetModelId undefined | string PrimitiveTool targetView undefined | Viewport PrimitiveTool toolId Accessor ReadOnly string Tool Get the toolId string for this Tool class. This string is used to identify the Tool in the ToolRegistry and is used to localizethe keyin, description, etc. from the current locale. toolId Static string Tool The unique string that identifies this tool. toolKey Static string MarkupTool Defined in core/markup/src/RedlineTool.ts Line 18 Last Updated: 13 June, 2024
