On-line help.... Gotta love it

2013-09-03_0802.png

 

BTW, I do have the off line help installed. But, as long as the internet is still up, it will not use it unless I totally disable my network connection.  That is a pain to have to stop and do. Would be nice if there was a option to always use local installed help.

After installing local help files, If you always want to access the local help from within Inventor, you can modify the helpids.xml file located at:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2015\Bin:

 

Change the default value  - UseOnline="1" - to - UseOnline="0"

The value '1'  - This will always launch the online help by default

The value '0' - This will always launch the local help by default

Hah, i was looking for the same topic but couldn't find it...
I remember there being the typo of "Inventor 2015", which you copied 🙂

 

Edit:

Found it, it was the post about the wikihelp retiring.
