[jovivier]

Often other programs are used during the design process for a variety of tasks, for example a pump selection utility.

To quickly access other applications inside IRRICAD you can add entries into the User Tools menu.

The trick to setting up a new item is finding the required application file. This can be done in two ways:

1). Use the browse button in the dialog to find the application. Most applications will be found under C:\Program Files in their installed folder such as the Database Editor application, “IrriBase” commonly found in C:\Program Files\AEI Software\IRRICAD Pro 10 folder:

2). Find the shortcut on your desktop or in the Start | All Programs list. Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties. Copy all the information in the “Target” field and paste it into the “Command” field in the User Tools|Customize dialog:
