If you do not use the Tools > Command
Line command to open a command window, then you will have to
either type the full path of the executable in each command, or explicitly

You may want to start Ansys TurboGrid from the command line rather than by clicking the appropriate button on the Ansys TurboGrid Launcher for the following reasons:
Ansys TurboGrid contains some utilities (for example, a parameter editor) that can be run only from the command line.
You may want to specify certain command line arguments when starting up a component so that it starts up in a particular configuration.
If you are having problems with a component, you may be able to get a more detailed error message by starting the component from the command line than you would get if you started the component from the launcher. If you start a component from the command line, any error messages produced are written to the command line window.
The User menu is provided as an example. You can add your own applications to this menu, or create new menus. For details, see Customizing the Ansys TurboGrid Launcher.
