Overview


FASTSUITE Edition 2 comes with an integrated Help. These Help pages are installed automatically in a default path with the installation of the software. All supported languages, that are available at time of product release, are included.


Documentation_1_216


The Help is a html based documentation and can also be be opened in any external browser. In the documentation path lies a file Index.html, that will open the manual.



Help Pages


The Help Pages are meant to be started directly from within the software. In that case the pages will be opened in a separate window within the application.


On command buttons, 3D elements and other objects the corresponding page opens when hovering the mouse over the object and pressing the F1 key (default setting). Only in case the page does not exist or its link is missing, the main page of the Help will be opened.


Documentation_2


The main Help page can also be opened with the command button in the View Toolbar - Help menu.

Help Pages path


With a software installation using the setup executable, the Help Pages are copied to the path /Resources/Documentation/UserManual. The directory contains a folder for each available language and an xaml-file with the cross-link table of pages. This path is used by the software per default.


Documentation_3


Alternative documentation paths can be used. The documentation can be copied to any drive using the above structure. The new path where to locate the documentation is defined with a variable:


Documentation_4


This variable can be found in the file FASTSUITE_E2.exe.config, located in the main installation path of the software. It can be opened and edited with any text editor.
