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. 8 The tooldial Menu Tool Tweaking The NuLOOQ tooldial provides Tool Tweaking for certain tools, allowing you to activate a tool and set option values in one simple operation. A cell containing a Tweak tool will display a Tweak Tool symbol along the outer edge of the cell. An example of a cell containing the Tweak Tool symbol is shown in the image to the right. A list of supported tools and values that can be dynamically controlled is provided at the end of this section. To activate a tool using the current value, simply click and release on the Menu cell containing the icon for that tool. To activate a tool and modify the value, click and hold the left mouse button over the Menu cell. With the left mouse button held down, simply slide the mouse to the right to increase the value, or to the left to decrease the value. The tool option value is displayed on the feedback pane, and will increase or decrease automatically to reflect changes made using the slider. Releasing the mouse button will activate the selected tool, with the value specified in the feedback pane. WARNING WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE "COPY" SHORTCUT (CMD-C) FROM WITHIN THE HOST APPLICATION.
