help menu - where is it gone?

Anonymous — Fri, 23 Feb 2024 17:54:29 GMT

I recently bought Archicad, and upgraded from my student version.
In this 22 version, I cannot find the same 'help' function that I had in the student version.
There I could just type in my question, or topic and there would pop up several solutions within the program - showing where in the navigation menu I could find what I was looking for.

Now in the 22 bought version, when I click on help I immediately get a the help online webpage, and no longer my interactive help...
How come?
How can I get the student 'help' version back?
Hope someone can point out how to fix this:)
Kind regards,
Trudie

Check your Work Environment since everything is the same as before. The only difference that has always existed is between MacOS and Windows where in the first one if you type a command MacOS will show you were it is, windows does not do that.

Thanks a lot!!!! this explains everything.
I worked With the student Version on a mac - and now With the bought Version on a Windows.
What a shame that Windows does not offer the same possibilities!
I really liked the interactivity in the help menu - it was really a great help -
It would be a great improvement if Graphisoft could implement this into the 'windows' Version as well.
kind regards,
