What if I Have Multiple Products?
If you have more than one compatible product (such as PondPack and SewerGEMS or SewerGEMS and CivilStorm) and would like to use this updated library in both/each of them, you can either save multiple copies of the Brentwood.xml file and browse to each respective file within the product's Engineering Library Manager, or you could simply save a single file and browse to that from each product.
