Thank you for your feedback

Prior to 4.3, 12d Model Executables required to be installed in a specific location on disk.

12d Synergy v4.3 now allows users to register various versions of 12d Model, these can be located from multiple locations or directories. Meaning you could have 12d Model v12 installed on c:\ and 12d Model v14 located on d:\.

This eliminates the requirement of having to configure windows environment variables that were in place as a workaround.

12d Synergy v4.3 also has the ability for custom naming, this allows for your own naming conventions - For example, if you use 12d Model v12 for Bridges and 12d Model v14 for Tunnels, you can register the executables and simply name them 'Bridge' and 'Tunnel'.

Set-up:
Firstly, we need to add the 12d Model executable, to do this you: Click the Window tab (in the Synergy Client) Then Launchers and Editors Select 12d Model
Now, click on the '+' symbol to register a new 12d Model Exe, this will prompt the 'Configure 12d Model Launcher' window
Cosmetic Name - Custom naming to your preference. E.g: Bridges. Path - Direct this to the desired 12d Model exe. Default location: (Drive):\Program Files\12d\12dmodel\(version)\nt.x64 (Drive): Drive 12d.exe is installed (Version): Desired 12dM version. E.g: 12.00 for 12d Model v12, 14.00 for 12d Model v14	TBD
