ddcpe Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Anyone know how to quickly get to VW help from the Forum page rather than having to go to VW app then click on help? Would be nice when in the forum and trying to figure something out if there were a hyperlink to Help so you could click on it and have it open in a new tab or window so you could go back and forth quickly.

Gadzooks Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 ?????? Simple computer skills...... If you know you want to go to VW help often just make the help address a 'favourite' webpage and you can click and have it open anytime you want. Or leave it open while you are working 3 Quote Link to comment
E|FA Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Bookmark this in your favorite browser: https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2024/eng/index.htm . There's no need to have it open via VW. If you're using another version or language, bookmark the relevant page. Quote Link to comment

You said Favorites he said Bookmarks SNCR 😅 I also have also bookmarked VW help in Safari (probably for VW 2019 or so, but I can edit the year ....) But if you do Bookmark all such things, your bookmarks may be so crowded and deeply hierarchic in Sub Folders that it might be even easier to start VW and open help from there .... (At least my Bookmark collection is that way) An alternative would be to create an Alias to VW's local help on desktop (?) Edited October 17, 2023 by zoomer Quote Link to comment

But if the person really has difficulty with simple computer skills I figured I'd give them exact instructions. I didn't mean to imply you were wrong. Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I’m not sure if this was the original poster’s intent with their question, but I have thought it would be ‘helpful’ if there were a direct link to the online Vw Help file directly from the user Forums. Much like it would be useful if there were a direct link to Vectorworks.net from the user forums. Quote Link to comment
unearthed Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I have a shortline on my chrome screen https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?forumId=55%2C14%2C20%2C12%2C48%2C16 just loads the content I want. Quote Link to comment
ddcpe Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Thanks all. Why didn't I think of a bookmark...friggin obvious. Sometimes I just cant see the forest for the trees. Cheers, Quote Link to comment
