Installing Helpfile/es

FreeCAD Archivos de ayuda
La documentación offline de FreeCAD se construye a partir del wiki de FreeCAD utilizando scripts. Ha crecido hasta un tamaño de archivo de más de 180 MB. Estos grandes archivos no forman parte de los instaladores y ejecutables de FreeCAD, pero pueden instalarse por separado como se documenta aquí.

Se fomenta la traducción por parte de la comunidad, por lo que la documentación offline ya está disponible también en francés e italiano. Otros idiomas pueden estar en diferentes etapas de terminación.

Descargar archivos de ayuda
Una documentación funcionando offline consiste en al menos dos archivos: la configuración de Qt-helpfile y  el Qt-helpfile comprimido. Se juntan en un archivo ZIP.

The helpfiles can be downloaded here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/download/0.19.2/FreeCAD.0_19.Offline.Doc.7z

As a future option they can be installed from within FreeCAD with the Addon Manager.

The help files do always have the same names: and. In order to have different version of the helpfiles, these need to be installed in different directories. In case of a manual download, just store the zip-file locally and extract the archive into the wanted directory.
