Using Help
General
- The instructions are delivered with the program installation package and can be opened from within the program.
- Help uses the relative font. You can increase and decrease the font size of the instructions by holding down the Ctrl key and rolling the mouse wheel.
- The instructions are only provided in the language of the installation package.
- If necessary, you can also ask the supplier for mec_help.chm manual in another language and place it in the user’s Vertex home directory (vxg4/user).
- The program primarily opens the help (mec_help.chm) in the user folder.
- You can also find the instructions on the page https://kb.vertex.fi/ under Vertex CAD user manuals.
- The Help menu also contains subsections, some of which direct to www pages, in which case you must have access to the internet.
- Some instructions open a PDF file, so you need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free and can be downloaded from www.adobe.fi or www.adobe.com.
