Description

The Std OnlineHelp command opens the online help documentation. To open the documentation for a selected command, use the Std WhatsThis command.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Select the Windows → Help option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: F1.
  2. The online help documentation opens in a new window.
  3. Topics can be selected from the Contents tab or searched from the Index tab.

Notes

  • The documentation is based on Qt compiled HTML pages. For it to launch Qt Assistant must be installed.
  • On Debian/Ubuntu and possibly other Linux systems, the offline documentation may need to be installed separately. The package is named freecad-doc, or freecad-daily-doc (for the freecad-daily PPA). See Installing Helpfile.
