Is there a way to build a custom form tool in gibbs?

Open the tool palette and the last tool icon is for form tools. I create the tool geometry in it's own workgroup.

I'm not following you. I can bring up the form tool in the pallette. But I don't understand how to create geometry for the tool.

Ok I got it thanks. I'm a little slow today.

Sorry about the late reply, I'm on vacation. Looks like you got it now. What version are you running? You would use the same method (geometry creation wise) to also create custom toolholders.
