Inherited properties

Name Type Inherited from Description
description Accessor ReadOnly string PrimitiveTool Get the localized description string from this Tool's class
description Accessor StaticReadOnly string PrimitiveTool Get the localized description for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".description" from
its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). If that key is not in the localization namespace,
PrimitiveTool.flyover is returned.
englishKeyin Accessor StaticReadOnly string PrimitiveTool Get the English keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" from
its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json").
flyover Accessor ReadOnly string PrimitiveTool Get the localized flyover string from this Tool's class
flyover Accessor StaticReadOnly string PrimitiveTool Get the localized flyover for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".flyover" from
its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json"). If that key is not in the localization namespace,
PrimitiveTool.keyin is returned.
hidden Static boolean PrimitiveTool If true, this Tool will not appear in the list from ToolRegistry.getToolList.
i18n Static I18N PrimitiveTool The internationalization services instance used to translate strings from the namespace.
iconSpec Accessor ReadOnly string PrimitiveTool Get the iconSpec from this Tool's class.
iModel Accessor ReadOnly IModelConnection PrimitiveTool Get the iModel on which this tool operates.
isControlDown Accessor ReadOnly boolean PrimitiveTool Convenience method to check whether control key is currently down without needing a button event.
isDynamicsStarted Accessor ReadOnly boolean PrimitiveTool Call to find out if dynamics are currently active.
keyin Accessor ReadOnly string PrimitiveTool Get the localized keyin string from this Tool's class
keyin Accessor StaticReadOnly string PrimitiveTool Get the localized keyin string for this Tool class. This returns the value of "tools." + this.toolId + ".keyin" from
its registered Namespace (e.g. "en/MyApp.json").
maxArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly undefined | number PrimitiveTool The maximum number of arguments allowed by PrimitiveTool.parseAndRun, or undefined if there is no maximum.
If subclasses override PrimitiveTool.parseAndRun, they should also override this method to indicate the maximum
number of arguments their implementation expects.
minArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly number PrimitiveTool The minimum number of arguments allowed by PrimitiveTool.parseAndRun. If subclasses override PrimitiveTool.parseAndRun, they should also
override this method to indicate the minimum number of arguments their implementation expects. UI controls can use
this information to ensure the tool has enough information to execute.
namespace Static I18NNamespace PrimitiveTool The I18NNamespace that provides localized strings for this Tool.
receivedDownEvent boolean PrimitiveTool Used to avoid sending tools up events for which they did not receive the down event.
targetIsLocked boolean PrimitiveTool  
targetModelId Accessor undefined | string PrimitiveTool  
targetView undefined | Viewport PrimitiveTool The viewport within which the tool operates.
toolId Accessor ReadOnly string PrimitiveTool Get the toolId string for this Tool class. This string is used to identify the Tool in the ToolRegistry and is used to localize
the keyin, description, etc. from the current locale.
