I hear you. It would be a nice capability to be able to create a tool that was not tied to a chart via it's study. Maybe, Sierra could enhance it's tool abilities in the following way. Add an API which one could call to make a tool 'global'. You could provide tool ID and state-> set to true / false, then it would be associated to that ACS button and/or popup menu item for all charts, assuming there was not a conflict. Also they would need to add a setting in Global Setting, similar to Files to open on startup, for 'Tools to load on startup'. Or enhance the current 'open on startup' to include .dlls (tools) as well as chartbooks. I would think a separate Tools at startup would be easier for them to contain errors / issues. For now as a workaround, you might want to put your tool(s) in a study collection, and use the Global Setting-> General Settings and check box for 'Use Default Study Collection for new Charts' and include it's study collection name.
