Help Needed: Adding Custom Tool to General Section in FUXA

[Xpsdp07]

Hi FUXA Team,

Thank you for building and maintaining such a powerful tool — it’s been very helpful for my project.

I’ve been exploring how to extend FUXA by adding custom shapes and widgets:

• I understand the flow for adding new shapes in the Shapes section — creating a .js file with SVG code, registering it in shapesLoader.js, and using it directly without Angular components.

• I’ve also learned how widgets work, where an Angular component is needed for dynamic behavior like interactivity and live data updates.

Now, I’m trying to add a new tool under the General section (alongside existing tools like Line, Rectangle, Circle, etc.).
I’ve already updated the HTML and styling to display the new button, but I’m stuck on finding where the logic for switching tools is handled in the codebase.

Could you please guide me on:

• Which file or module controls the logic for activating and switching these tools?
• Whether adding a new General tool follows the same process as shapes or widgets, or if it’s handled differently?

Your help would mean a lot and will allow me to complete this feature — I’d be happy to share back my implementation with the community once it’s working.

Thanks and regards,
Sudeep

Hi, you cannot modify the Generals, because they are tools that are part of the SVG editor. What you can add are controls. To do this, just follow the example of how I added the last control, “Video”.
