Throughout Vectorworks is a nice feature that provides the user with information about any given interface by mousing over it. See attached image.
The problem with a lot of these tool tips (is "tool tip" the official name?) is that they're woefully short of information that the tool interface itself doesn't already provide.
So this is a thread to list each of these where they fall short and suggest better text.
In the attached example:
The tool interface says: "Export PDF's as separate files"
And the tool tip pretty much just regurgitates this: "Creates a separate PDF file for each Sheet Layer or Saved View"
Here the tool tip could actually point out more information, such as:
"Creates a separate PDF file for each Sheet Layer or Saved View, naming each file based on the Sheet Layer/Saved View name."
P.S. I'm going to add to this thread as I come across them. Feel free to add your own.
