Customize

You can add direct links to applications and files right on your ProModel toolbar. Create a link to open a spreadsheet, a text document, or your favorite calculator–it’s your menu.

To create or modify you Custom Tools menu, select Customize from the Tools menu.

This will pull up the Custom Tools dialog window. The Custom Tools dialog window allows you to add, delete, edit, or rearrange the menu items that appear on the Tools drop down menu in ProModel.

Three tools come already added to the Custom Tools menu by default: QuickBar, Models to Go, and Model Package Association. These tools can be added to or deleted from the Tools menu.

Add a new menu item:

1. Click on the New button.

2. In the Name text box, type the name of the item you will be referencing, as you want it to appear on the drop menu.

3. Click the Browse button.

4. Use the browse window to find the file or application that you wish to have launched, then double click on it or click Open.

5. The file or application name and path will appear in the Source window.

Delete a menu item

1. In the Menu Items list, click on the name of the item you would like to delete.

2. Click the delete button.

Edit a menu item

1. In the menu Items list, click on the name of the item you would like to edit. Its properties will appear in the Edit Item panel, on the right.

2. Change the name that appears in the Name text box.

3. To redirect the item to another file or application, change the path and file name in the Source text box by either typing in a new source, or using the Browse window.

Rearrange items on the menu

1. You can rearrange the order in which menu items appear on the Tools menu, or add separators to divide them into logical groups. To move an item up in the list, select the item you wish to move.

2. Click on the Up or Down button to move the menu item’s position in the menu list.

Add a Separator

1. Clicking on the Separator button adds a Separator line to the drop down list. In the Menu Items list, this line is represented as --<Separator>--, in the Tools menu it appears as a single solid line.

2. The Separator line is inserted into the menu list above the highlighted Menu Item. Its placement can then be adjusted similar to other menu items, using the Up and Down buttons

Please note

Custom Tool settings are saved in your Windows Registry. They are not a part of your model file or model package. If you have multiple installations of ProModel Corporation products (such as a LAN version, MedModel, or ServiceModel) your Customized Tool menu will be available to your other ProModel Corporation products as well.
