Nomenclature

[jval]

Sheesh... I just noticed I'm a "Polyline" and never even got a kiss first!

Oh well, I guess it's not as bad as poor bwtr. He's being targeted by morphs and I'll bet they've never even been formally introduced to each other.

bwtr: no problems, I'm not in charge of the Carrara manual, but Hexagon manual
BTW, we know that we need to improve both manuals (Hexagon AND Carrara) but doing a manual isn't an easy task. Trying to be coherent in a document of 300-500 pages is not easy, and as you can imagine, it's not only one personn which works on a manual, but a lot, directly or indirectly!

I'm currently working on the Hexagon 2 manual (I do a small pause to read my forums posts and I'm always looking to other parts of the forums, to see if the style of what I write is the same of what I wrote several month ago.
After than, two/three other Eovia memeber are reading it, correct it is needed, and then, go to translation, which most of time have questions, then, need some edits, etc..

That's why you can imagine, that doing a good manual without any errors, even with a dedicated techwriter is impossible.. but we try!

Thanks Thomas, I think you got the message that we think the Eovia team is very good and that we are highlighting the strong need for your own internal "Naming Nomenclature" book to avoid,the obvious,usage of different words by all these various people working on different things.
By now, Eovia should be mature enough to ensure that these problems are rectified.
