I have used this method. For creating rubber stamp, I have called setToolMode() for setting the stamp on mouse click. Now I am getting that ‘+’ cursor but it doesn’t add any stamp on the webviewer. I dont want to select that standard stamp instead I want to have that stamp ready to use as soon as I call this method.  
Whenever I call this method, that standard stamp should enabled on the cursor and I will be directly drawing it on the webviewer. I should not be used to select that standard stamp.

> if (selectedFunction === ‘stamp’) {  
> const tool = this.viewerInstance.docViewer.getTool(‘AnnotationCreateRubberStamp’);  
> tool.setStandardStamps([‘SHAccepted’]);  
> tool.setRubberStamp(tool);  
> this.viewerInstance.docViewer.setToolMode(tool);  
> }

Hi!

Your code was pretty close, you were just passing the wrong thing into `setToolMode`. This code should work for you.

```javascript
    const tool = docViewer.getTool('AnnotationCreateRubberStamp');
    tool.setStandardStamps(['SHAccepted']);
    const annots = await tool.getStandardStampAnnotations();
    tool.setRubberStamp(annots[0]);
    instance.setToolMode('AnnotationCreateRubberStamp'); // sets it in the UI

```

Thanks,  
Logan
