If you go to the HELP pull down menu and select ELECTRICAL HELP TOPICS,
you then will be able to select the CONTENTS tab and then expand the USER'S
GUIDE. This guide is broken up into different chapters for the different
categories of features in the ELECTRICAL product. In the old VIA products,
the printed manual that was supplied was a copy of the information that was
in the online User's Guide. If there were a printed manuals available, I am
sure it would be the same information that is in this User's Guide. If
there is information that you cannot find in this User's Guide, you can post
your specific queries to this newsgroup and I am sure that many of the
people here would be more than happy to answer your questions for you or to
point you to a location where they have found some documentation on your
particular subjects. We would just need specific details on exactly what it
is you are trying or wanting to do.
Good Luck!! I hope this helps and all goes well!!

2004. The only ACAD Electrical pdf doc is the 'Getting Started' guide that
appears to be very similar in content to the tutorials in the online Windows
help, providing mostly duplicate information. The online help appears to be
the main documentation for the program. This is your only 'documentation'
as far as I have been able to find in my searching. The online help may be
moderately complete in terms of a reference manual, but it's probably easier
to get the truth out of Bill Clinton than it is to find out what you really
need to know about a complex system from the average reference manual.

Would the WD r16 documentation help me get up to speed more quickly, or is
it too far removed from AE 2004?
