Tip

• Do not apply new window for tool creation. Assume the workflow is user create a default content tool and then user setup it in by the edit panel.
• Add a resizable splition bar between Tool List Panel, Selected Tool Editor Panel and Viewer Panel.
• The options of MillingCutterEditorDisplayee and HolderEditorDisplayee is enabled only if the upper level options are enabled, i.e. ShowCutter and ShowHolder.
• Use less layer of EditorDisplayee Options ToolBar for user convenient. Flatten the options of the children displayee except the ratio button group.

The Tool ID can not be repeated. When create new tool, assign a new tool ID (maybe the largest ID plus 1).

When a tool is entered, call the renderingCanvas.DispEngine.SetViewToHomeView().

Duplication Button

Use Duplicate(params object[]) to duplicate the tool.

Note/Abstract TextField

The Note/Abstract TextField shows note if note existed and is not empty string; otherwise it shows the AbstractNote. The tooltip is the abstract note.
