If you open a new GeoGebra interface using item ‘New’ from the File menu, after you created a custom tool, it will still be part of the GeoGebra toolbar. However, if you open a new GeoGebra window (item ‘New Window’ from the File menu), or open GeoGebra on another day, your custom tools won’t be part of the toolbar any more.
There are different ways of making sure that your user defined tools are displayed in the toolbar of a new GeoGebra window:
·
After creating a new user defined tool you can save your settings
using item ‘Save
Settings’ from the Options
menu. From now on, your customized tool will be part of the GeoGebra toolbar.
Note: You can remove the custom tool from the toolbar after opening item
‘Customize Toolbar…’
from the Tools menu. Then, select
your custom tool from the list of tools on the left hand side of the appearing
dialog window and click button ‘Remove >’. Don’t forget to save your
settings after removing the custom tool.
·
After saving
your custom tool on your computer (as a ‘.ggt’ file), you can
import it into a new GeoGebra window at any time. Just select item ‘Open’ from the File menu and open the file of your
custom tool.
Note: Opening a GeoGebra tool file in GeoGebra doesn’t affect your
current construction. It only makes this tool part of the current GeoGebra
toolbar.
