Issues Addressed with this Patch

  • NIM062255 - The cursor for 'Sketch tool' in the editor toolbar does not function properly when invoked programmatically.

    Description: This patch fixes a problem in the application framework whereby tools set programmatically did not have their enabling logic consulted/triggered in the correct periodic fashion. This prevented some tools, like the Sketch tool, from updating their state including its cursor.
