¿ Is there a way to, with Google or (?), search directly in the VW/RW HELP that is associated with your current version ?
Why I ask ...
Searching recently in the VW / RW HELP (2020) for “Retrieving Object Names in Worksheets” was with out success.
A hit, though, was returned utilizing “Retrieving object names in worksheets” site:https://forum.vectorworks.net for a 2008 post, by Markus Barrera-Kolb. (However, this post did NOT have the desired chart of designations & a broken link to helpful cheat sheet)
Where I did find information was in an old VW 2016 (¿User Guide?) in a PDF, on a back up hard drive. (Thanks to consistent backing up & to the search function on the Macintosh.)

Question
Elite Exhibits
Is there a better way to search the HELP file... with Google or ?
Searching has long been a painful issue with VW Help
Some times it is great ! …sometimes there is nothing ?
Potentially, the fail is based on looking for a topic, NOT in the HELP file to begin with.
When coming up short, I typically use the Google “site” trick searching as …
site:https://forum.vectorworks.net - site:https://techboard.vectorworks.net - etcetera
The question is -

Suggestions are always welcome.
