Description:  Most of the parameters used in the ET GeoTools functions can be adjusted in the ET GeoTools Control Panel. In order to improve the productivity of the tools, setting of some of the parameters is made available via Hot Keys. Using these keys when the corresponding tool is active will open the appropriate dialog for adjusting of the parameters needed by the tool.
