Online Help

A structured table of contents, an index, and full-text search capabilities provide easy access to Help topics. Press F1 any time you need online Help during a design session. When a command is active, the Help topic for that command appears. If no command is active, then the table of contents for the Help topics appears.

You can also access the table of contents by clicking Help > SmartSketch Help.

  • Every time you activate the software, a Tip of the Day dialog box displays a helpful tip. You can use More Tips on the dialog box, or Tip of the Day on the Help menu, to display more tips.

User Interface Features

  • Tool tips help you find command names. When you pause the mouse pointer on the command button on the toolbar, a yellow label displays the command's name.

  • Brief command descriptions show you the basic function of a command. When you point the pointer at the command button on the toolbar, the description appears in the Status Bar at the bottom of the window. Also, messages that explain your actions for each step of the command appear in the Status Bar.
