Tool Setup Screen

This screen is used to select a program to be added to the Tool Menu.

Two fixed tools are provided. These are;

1. Calculator

2. Recalc Airfoil Properties

The calculator can be modified to use whichever calculator program you wish. You cannot delete this tool.

The recalc airfoil properties tool cannot be modified. This is used to recalculate the airfoil thickness and camber for every airfoil in the database. If this tool is selected then a prompt will be displayed to confirm that you wish to recalculate the thickness and camber for every airfoil.

The following details need to be entered;

Working Directory

This is an optional parameter. This entry specifies where the working directory for the program will be. In most cases this will not be required to be entered.

All settings are saved so that the next time Winfoil is started these programs are available in the Tool menu.
