Accessing the Default Menus
Each of the default tooldial Menus has been assigned a unique activation shortcut. In
order to access the default Menus, simply follow these steps:
• Adobe Illustrator Menu: First open Adobe Illustrator CS2. Press CTRL-OPTSPACE; the default Illustrator tooldial Menu will appear under your current
mouse cursor location.
• Adobe InDesign Menu: First open Adobe InDesign CS2. Press CTRL-OPTSPACE; the default InDesign tooldial Menu will appear under your current

from your desktop. Simply press CTRL-SPACE; the default System-level
tooldial Menu will appear under your current mouse cursor location.
Using the Default Menus
Once you have accessed the default tooldial Menu of your choice, you can immediately begin to use it. Once the Menu appears, simply move the mouse cursor to the
5
Reference Guide
cell you wish to enable. Then click on the cell to initiate the command. A cell may
contain a file, folder, or application, or an application-specific command or tool.
The tooldial Menu will disappear once the command has been initiated. If you wish
to access the tooldial Menu again to open or activate another item, simply repeat the
activation shortcut. The Menu will reappear under your current cursor location.
Some cells within the tooldial Menu will display a “+” along the outer
edge of the cell, as shown in the image to the right. The “+” indicates that
this cell has up to eight additional cells in an Extended Menu.
An Extended Menu is a ring of eight additional cells surrounding the
Main Menu. Click and hold on a primary cell to open the Extended Menu. You may
then click on any item in the Extended Menu to activate it, just as with the Main
Menu cells.
Some tooldial Menus in Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop will
display a Tweak Tool symbol along the outer edge of some of the cells,
as shown in the image to the right. The Tweak Tool symbol indicates
that the tooldial supports Tool Tweaking for the tool represented in that
particular cell.
Tool Tweaking is the ability to set tool option values in a single step. Click and hold
on the cell supporting Tool Tweaking. A feedback pane will appear. With the mouse
button still held down, gently move the mouse left or right to adjust the tool option
value. When you have reached the desired value, release the mouse button. The
feedback pane will disappear, and the value you specified will be applied to the
selected tool.

The tooldial Menu
Basic tooldial Functionality
The NuLOOQ tooldial is an on-demand personalized menu system. With the
tooldial, you can create and save up to ten customized Menus per application, in addi-
tion to ten System-level Menus.
Menu Type Definitions
tooldial Menus can be defined as System- or Application-level Menus. A Systemlevel Menu will be accessible regardless of which programs you may be running, or
which application is currently active. An Application-level Menu can only be opened
when the host application for which is was created is running, and is the currently
active application on the desktop. The NuLOOQ tooldial supports Adobe Illustrator
CS2, InDesign CS2, and Photoshop CS2.
Menu Layout
The tooldial Menu consists of a circular configuration of eight primary cells, each of
which may contain a file, folder, program or tool. The items contained within the
Menu cells are fully customizable. See “tooldial Configuration” on page 11 for more
information on configuring the NuLOOQ tooldial.
Each individual cell on the Main Menu can be linked to a second menu level of eight
additional cells. This Extended Tool Menu appears as an outer ring of eight cells surrounding the Main Menu. Main Menu cells with associated Extended Menus will
contain a “+” along the outer edge of the cell. Clicking on a cell in the Main Menu
and holding the mouse button down will display the associated Extended Menu, if
one has been created for that cell.
The Hub
Right-click, or CTRL-click, on the Hub at the center of a tooldial Menu to open the
tooldial Options contextual menu. This menu allows you to select from the following
options:
• Help - Selecting this option opens the online Help system for the tooldial.
• About the NuLOOQ tooldial - This option brings up a window displaying spe-
cific information pertaining to this version of the NuLOOQ tooldial.
7
Reference Guide
• Preferences - This option will open the tooldial Console, from which you can
create, delete, or modify System- and Application-level Menus. (See “tooldial
Configuration” on page 11 for more information about the tooldial Console.)
• Reinstall Plug-ins - In the event that you did not have Adobe Illustrator, InDesign
or Photoshop installed on your system at the time of your NuLOOQ tooldial
installation, this option allows you to reinstall the tooldial plug-in(s) for the missing application(s). Please see “Reinstalling Plug-ins” on page 10 for more information about this procedure.
• Close this NuLOOQ tooldial - Selecting this option will close the current tooldial
Menu, without selecting any of the items within the cells.
Using the tooldial Menu
Accessing the Menu
The tooldial Menu can be opened by a variety of methods, all of which are customizable 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 configured for each of your Menus, allowing you immediate access to any Menu.
OTE
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 automatically 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.
OTE
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.

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. A feedback pane will appear near the
cursor. 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.
ARNING
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT CHANGE THE “COPY” SHORTCUT (CMD-C) FROM
WITHIN THE HOST APPLICATION. DOING SO WILL INTERFERE WITH THE ABILITY OF

Chapter 3 tooldial Configuration
The NuLOOQ tooldialTM Console enables you to easily configure tooldial Menus for
your unique needs. This section will describe the Console in detail, and will explain
the process of configuring the tooldial Menu.
Accessing the Console
The tooldial Console can be accessed in the following ways:
• Click the tooldial icon in the System Preferences pane’s Other category, and then
click on Configure NuLOOQ tooldial in the Status & Activation window that
appears;
• Click on the Hub in the center of a tooldial Menu and select the “Preferences”

The Show Menu
The Show pop-up menu in the top center of the Console includes options for selecting
Application- or System-level tooldial Groups for configuration, importing and
exporting Menu Sets, and for accessing the Updates and Activation information for
your NuLOOQ tooldial.
11
Reference Guide
Each of these options is described in the following sections.
Selecting a tooldial Group
In order to create a new tooldial Menu, or to edit or remove an existing Menu, you
must first select the appropriate tooldial Group. Click on the Show pop-up menu in
the top center of the Console, and select either “System”, “Illustrator”, “InDesign”, or
“Photoshop” from the list of Groups. Each of these options will bring up the set of
existing Menus (if any) for that tooldial Group, as well as the list of available functions and menu items specific to the type of Menu you have selected.
Export tooldial Set
Selecting “Export tooldial Set...” from the Show menu will open an ExportPrompt
window, from which you can Export all of your tooldial Menus as a tooldial Set file.
The tooldial Set file will have a .tooldial file extension. The export process is as follows:
1. Select “Export tooldial Set...” from the Show menu.
2. In the ExportPrompt window, enter the name you wish to assign to your tooldial
Set in the Save As field.
3. Either select a location from the Where pop-up menu, or click the downward
arrow to the right of the Save As field. Clicking this arrow will open a Finder
window from which you can browse to the destination where you wish to save
the tooldial Set.
4. Click the Export button to export your tooldial Set.
Import tooldial Set
Selecting “Import tooldial Set...” from the Show menu will open an ImportPrompt
Finder window, from which you can browse to the location of the tooldial Set you
wish to import. The tooldial Set file will have a .tooldial file extension. Click on the
desired tooldial Set file in the Finder window, then click the Import button; a window
will appear listing all the tooldial Menus within that tooldial Set.
Uncheck the boxes for those applications for which you do not wish to import tooldial
Menus. Unchecking a box means that no Menus for that application will be imported.
12
By default, the Import function will merge the imported tooldial Menus with your
existing Menus. If a name conflict occurs, a number will be appended to the imported
Menu name, such as [1] or [2]. If an activation shortcut conflict appears, the shortcut
tooldial Configuration
W
for the imported Menu will be crossed out, as in the image above, and those Menus
will be imported without shortcuts. Should you wish to replace your existing tooldial
Menus with the imported tooldial Set Menus, check the box in the lower portion of
the Import tooldial Set window. This will replace all your current tooldial Menus
with the imported tooldial Set Menus.
When you have selected the tooldial Menus you wish to import, and configured the
Merge / Replace option to your satisfaction, click the Import button to import the
selected Menus.
ARNING
CLICKING THE IMPORT BUTTON WITH THE “REPLACE CURRENT TOOLDIALS...” BOX
CHECKED WILL DELETE YOUR CURRENT TOOLDIAL MENUS, SO IF YOU DO NOT WISH
TO LOSE YOUR CURRENT MENUS, MAKE SURE THIS BOX IS UNCHECKED BEFORE
CLICKING IMPORT.
Status and Activation
Selecting “Status & Activation” from the Show menu brings up the Status and Activation tab within the Console. See “Status and Activation Tab” on page 18 for a
description of this tab.
The Menu Pane
The Menu pane is the large rectangular pane in the upper portion of the Console. This
pane displays the complete list of tooldial Menus available for the currently selected
tooldial Group. The Menu name and the Shortcut assigned for activating each particular Menu are displayed in the Menu pane.
Adding Menus
Once you have selected the tooldial Group, click on the Add Menu button at the
bottom left of the Menu pane to add a new Menu to that tooldial Group. Alternately,
you can click on the Action Item button to the right of the Add Menu button, and
select “New” from the pop-up menu that appears. A new ‘Untitled’ Menu will appear
in the list, with the Name field highlighted. Type in a name for your Menu, and hit
Enter. Note that once you have entered the name for your new Menu, NuLOOQ will
automatically alphabetize the new Menu into the list of existing Menus.
You have the option of entering a brief description of your new Menu in the Description field below the Menu pane. Simply click in the Description field, and type in
your text. Hit the Enter key when you have finished. The description you have
entered will appear automatically whenever its associated Menu is selected in the
Menu pane.

been assigned to the Menus in the current tooldial Group. If a Shortcut has not been
assigned, that Menu will display “Select...” in the Shortcut field. Clicking on this
field will open a pop-up allowing you to specify the type of activation shortcut you
wish to designate for this particular Menu.

CAN BE DUPLICATED IN DIFFERENT APPLICATION-LEVEL TOOLDIAL GROUPS. IF THE
SAME ACTIVATION SHORTCUT IS ASSIGNED TO AN APPLICATION-LEVEL AND A SYSTEM-LEVEL MENU, THE APPLICATION-LEVEL MENU WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE WHEN
THAT APPLICATION IS RUNNING.

Configuring the tooldial Contents
Once you have created your new Menu, you can easily configure its contents to fit
your unique needs. First, make sure that the Menu you wish to edit is selected in the
Menu pane at the top of the Console.
• If your selected Menu is a System-level Menu, then simply drag any item from a
Finder window directly onto a cell in the tooldial Menu displayed at the lower
right corner of the Console.
• If your selected Menu is an Application-level Menu, then select the menu com-
mand, tool or Tweak tool from the list of available items in the Command pane at
the bottom of the Console, and drag the item onto the appropriate cell on the
tooldial Menu.
When you release the mouse button, an icon or textual description representing your
selected item will appear in the cell.
If you wish to replace an existing Menu item, simply drag and drop a new item into
that same cell; the new item will replace the existing one. To delete an item from a
Menu cell, click on the item and drag it off the Menu, and release the mouse button.
Command Pane Names
The Command pane includes the full name of each Adobe® application tool and
menu command, under the Command column. For those items with particularly long
names, the NuLOOQ tooldial affords you the option of entering a brief identifier of
your own choosing. We recommend that you limit this user-defined name to eight
characters. It need not be a unique identifier. Items to which you can assign a userdefined name will display a pencil symbol under the Abbreviations column when you
select that item in the Command pane.
To add a user-defined name to an item from the Command pane, select the item and
then click on the pencil symbol in the Abbreviations column to the right of the full
Adobe name. A text field will appear, in which you can enter any name up to eight
characters.
In cases where you have entered a user-defined name, this name will automatically
appear in place of the official Adobe name in all tooldial cells containing that item.
You do not need to re-map the tool or command onto the tooldial Menu(s).
To remove a user-defined name, click on the pencil next to the name you wish to
remove; the Abbreviations text field will become highlighted. Then simply delete the
characters from the text field. The full Adobe name will automatically replace the
user-defined name in all tooldial Menu cells that contain that particular tool or command. You will not need to re-map the items to the tooldial Menu(s).

Reference Guide
Extended Menus
For each of the eight primary cells within the Main Menu, you can create an additional Extended Menu containing eight additional cells, giving you a total of seventytwo possible cells to work with on a single Menu. To open an Extended Menu within
the Console, simply click on one of the cells in the Main Menu. The Extended Menu
will appear as an outer ring of cells encircling the Main Menu. You can then drag and
drop items from the Command pane or the Finder onto these cells, just as you did on
the Main Menu. When you have finished with a particular Extended Menu, simply
click on the Main Menu primary cell again to close it.
If you place a Tweak tool into a Main Menu cell, there will be no Extended Menu
available for that cell. If you click on the cell within the Console, rather than an
Extended Menu you will see a dialog informing you that Extended Menus are not
available for Main Menu cells containing Tweak tools. Should you place a Tweak
tool into a cell that already contains an Extended Menu, this dialog will allow you to
confirm the placement of the Tweak tool by clicking OK, or to cancel the Tweak tool
placement. If you click OK, the Extended Menu for that cell will be disabled.

MAIN MENU. THE EXTENDED MENU WILL APPEAR, AND YOU CAN DROP THE ITEM
ONTO A CELL IN THE EXTENDED MENU. YOU CAN THEN CLICK ON THE PRIMARY MAIN
MENU CELL TO CLOSE THE EXTENDED MENU.
The available configuration options for the various tooldial Groups are discussed in
the following sections.
System-Level Menu Options
System-level Menus can be accessed regardless of which applications are running.
Any file, including data or executable files, can be mapped to the tooldial Menu.
Thus, you can configure your tooldial not only for one-click access to your most frequently used programs, but for one-click access to specific files within those programs as well.
As System-level Menus are independent of specific host applications, no applicationspecific tools or functions can be mapped to System-level Menus. Additionally, if
any activation shortcut is assigned to both a System-level and Application-level
Menu, the Application-level Menu will take precedence when that application is running.
Application-Level Menu Options
Application-level Menus can only be accessed from within the host application for
which they were created. As such, they can contain a wide variety of application-spe-

cific tools and functions, to improve workflow and efficiency while working within
those applications. The NuLOOQ tooldial supports all menu commands, program
tools and functions available within each of the host applications. These options are
organized in the Command pane under two groupings: Application Menus and Tools.
The Application Menus group organization mimics the menu organization within the
host application. Remember that any of these items can be placed on the tooldial in
any configuration, to optimize your workflow.
The following applications are supported with the NuLOOQ tooldial V1.0:
• Adobe
