Vectorworks Help switches back to welcome page

[Christiaan]

Possibly the most annoying thing about the Adobe help app is the fact that it resets back to the welcome page every time you switch away from it and back again. Can this be fixed please?

Ouch!

I emphatically agree. Adobe Air has to be one of the most useless pieces of software ever. Nemetzchek was sold a lemon and isn't willing to admit it. Also annoying is that it wants to update every time you open it.

(In case you haven't discovered it, if you hit the back button Adobe Air will return to where you were. Yet another Vectorworks workaround and it not even in Vectorworks....)

The help system needs a definite overhaul and could take some serious cues from Cinema 4D. You can right click on anything in Cinema 4D, choose help and it will open help to the item you right click on.

It's particularly galling that they swapped to Adobe Air just when they were at a point when they'd finally sorted out all the problems with their previous web browser version.

Search in Air(2011) is also abysmal, but that could just be down to certain aspects not being covered by NAG.

Definitely needs that overhaul . . . . . .
