This chapter describes all tools within the Tools menu.
Tip: When you hover over menu items, short descriptions of tools are shown in the Status Bar.
Did you know?
Back in the days of old printing presses, a string of characters referred to the way they gathered letters to print. All letters had a hole in the middle of the piece, allowing the characters to be gathered on a string (a real physical piece of cord or thread) using a needle. They would string them, tap them down on a solid surface and place them into the presses. This is how the term string of characters was born. It was actually a string. True story.
Last Tool (Ctrl+L)
Repeats the last executed tool from the Tools menu. For example, if the last executed tool was Unique Lines, then Unique Lines is executed as Last Tool.
Note: Options chosen while running a tool the last time (if there are any) are remembered and automatically re-used.
