Using the tooldial Menu

Accessing the Menu

The tooldial Menu can be opened by a variety of methods, all of which are customiz-
able through the tooldial Console (see "tooldial Configuration" on page 11 for more
information). These methods include any combination of keyboard shortcuts, mouse
clicks, or NuLOOQ navigator triggerpoints. A unique activation shortcut can be con-
figured for each of your Menus, allowing you immediate access to any Menu.
NOTE
SHORTCUT KEY SEQUENCES ASSIGNED TO TOOLDIAL MENUS WILL OVER-RIDE ALL
OTHER SHORTCUTS WITHIN THE HOST PROGRAM.
When an activation shortcut is enabled, the associated tooldial Menu will appear
directly under the current cursor location. To reposition the tooldial Menu, simply
click and hold on the Hub in the center of the disk, and drag the Menu to the desired
location.
To close the tooldial Menu, either select an item from one of the cells, press the
Escape key, repeat the Menu's activation shortcut, or change your application focus
(switch to a different application). Note that opening a new tooldial Menu will auto-
matically close the current Menu, if one is open.

Selecting Items from the tooldial

To select an item from an open tooldial Menu, simply click on the cell containing that
item. The tooldial will close automatically once you have made your selection, and
the selected item will be enabled.
• If you select an application, then that application will be started.
• If you select a file, then that file will be opened within the appropriate application
(the application will be started if it is not currently running).
• If you select an application-specific function, tool, or attribute, that item will
become active within the host application.
NOTE
IF THE TOOLDIAL MENU CONTAINS AN APPLICATION-SPECIFIC MENU FUNCTION THAT
HAS BEEN MADE INVISIBLE WITHIN THE HOST APPLICATION, THEN SELECTING THAT
FUNCTION FROM THE TOOLDIAL MENU WILL NOT EXECUTE THE MENU FUNCTION. IN
ORDER FOR THE TOOLDIAL MENU TO BE ABLE TO EXECUTE MENU FUNCTIONS WITHIN
THE HOST APPLICATION, THEY MUST BE VISIBLE WITHIN THAT APPLICATION.
