Hi
Can someone give me a high-level overview on what the process is for building a new tool in adobe Illustrator? If it's even possible.
As an example:
I want a new tool that looks similar to the direct selection tool icon sitting over in the tool pallet. I'm calling this tool the "Zero distance tool". When I select this tool and click an anchor point from two different object it'll move the objects such that those anchor points are exactly on one another. I don't need programming help unless it's relevant. I'm experienced programming in C++ and JavaScript. I do not understand the workflow for building a tool like this.
Thank you.

Hello there,
App Builder is for building extensibility solutions for Experience Cloud and does not at this time support Creative Cloud products.
To build a plugin for Illustrator, you would need to use CEP. You can find more details here: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources
Thanks,
Ron
