### Dynamic Locate

The Locate Tool and Decode Tool can be used to locate other active tools dynamically, because they report coordinates within the image. Tool ROIs move as features move.

Once a tool has been set as a location source, corresponding tools can move with it. When a corresponding tool's location icon is clicked, it turns green, indicating that the tool will now move based on the coordinates reported by the primary tool used as the location source.

##### Perform a Locate tool as the location source for other tools

Register the tool whose ROI you want to correct after the Locate tool. The tool is registered with position correction enabled.

If you want to disable the dynamic locate, you can toggle it off by clicking the position fix icon.

ON: Moves this tool's ROI based on the coordinates reported by the most recently registered position correction tool.

Precautions for Correct Use: If you don't want to use the Locate tool as the location source for other tools, disable it by clicking a corresponding tool's location icon in the parameters window.
