Hello,
You can do so by attaching an event listener to the annotationManager like this:
const {AnnotationManager, annotationManager, documentViewer, Tools} = instance.Core
annotationManager.addEventListener(AnnotationManager['Events']['ANNOTATION_CHANGED'], function(annotations, action) {
if (action === 'add') {
const originalMethod = Tools.GenericAnnotationCreateTool.prototype.switchOut;
Tools.GenericAnnotationCreateTool.prototype.switchOut = function(newTool) {
if (this['annotation'] !== null && this['annotation'] !== undefined) {
this['annotation'] = null;
}
Tools.AnnotationSelectTool.prototype.switchOut.call(this, newTool);
}
const tool = documentViewer.getTool(Tools.ToolNames.PAN);
// If you want to switch to the "Select" tool you can use the following line:
// const tool = annotationManager.getTool(Tools.ToolNames.EDIT)
documentViewer.setToolMode(tool);
Tools.GenericAnnotationCreateTool.prototype.switchOut = originalMethod;
}
});
