Description

The Std WhatsThis command opens the online help documentation for a predefined command.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Std WhatsThis button.
    • Select the Help → What's This? option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: Shift+F1.
  2. Click on a toolbar button or on a menu entry.
  3. The online help documentation for the selected command opens in a new window.

Notes

  • Some commands are not documented, in that case the offline help will open on a blank page and report that the page could not be found.
  • 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.
