How to find a tool

To find the location of a particular tool, go to the Tool Manager GUI, type in the name of the desired tool in the Search string space and hit return. Left-click with your mouse on the Show search Results button. A list of possible locations for the tool will appear in a popup section. The general syntax will be:
package.module.tool or
package.module.tool.function or
package.module.tool.constructor or
package.module.global function
When you are done, dismiss the list. As an example: Type 'advise' in the Search string entry. One of the strings you will see when you left-click on the Show search Results button is: synthesis.imager.imager.advise which implies that 'advise' is a function of the tool imager which is contained in the module imager of the package called synthesis.
