how do you create a tool that does the job of a menu item

A tool determines what happens as you move the cursor and click. A menu command is an action taken on pre-selected objects. If you could make a tool do what a command does, it wouldn't be a tool.

If you want a tool that does something similar to what a certain command does, you may be able to create it using VectorScript.

While VW doesn't really support the concept of "buttons", you could create a (or many) script palette that would fire the menu commands with a double click.

The script would be similar to the following:

DoMenuTextByName('Guides',1);

The details of the names and numbers needed for the command are found in the VectorWorks appendix of the help files.
