Manual Revision - Polyloop

h.davey · 27th November 2005, 20:36

I would like to suggest what I consider an important revision to the manual. The manual is very well done except for one important point: the shortcut key strokes are tucked away at the end of the section and can (and are) easily overlooked. My suggestion is that since the shortcut keys are so important, that where they exist, they should be moved from the end of the description and inserted just below the Name of the tool or Operation on their own line, and just above the word "Description". Example:

2. Fast Extrude
Shortcut Key: CTRL
Different extrusion possibilities exist depending on the selection.

Description :

It's not the only thing to change on the manual, but you are right on that.

The manual does not contain bookmarks. Therefore it is very difficult to look things up. Is there a new version with bookmarks? Dont mind paying for it

Next major release of Hexagon will include a manual with bookmarks.
No new version until the major release...

Only pdf ;)

You can print it with two page on the same paper, it's ok and won't cost you a lot
