Please select target application [Please choose target application]

The user decides whether e.g. PARTdataManager or 3Dfind.it should be opened.

The corresponding commands are defined by default in ifacecommon.cfg.

Example:

With Perform geometric search [Execute Geometric Search], the following command is executed in the background by default:

MN_geosearch_Callback=?_CALLBACK_COMMAND("Default_ExecGeoSearch")

Actually this leads to the following:

Default_ExecGeoSearch=GetObject("iface.geosearch.callback").Execute(Application,
"mode=default,Interactive=1,OrderGet=GetCadConnector;GetPartDataManager,
OrderStart=StartCadConnector;StartPartDataManager")

If you want to make changes, set the detailed command in the specific configuration file if<cadname>.cfg and make the desired adjustments.
