I've just spent a frustrating hour trying to get through the first page of the exercise to make a flange family (Metric Family Tutorial, page 36).
I was getting error messages inputing formula into the Family Types dialogue box. It turns out that the relevant csv file supplied with the tutorial (M_Generic 1 Mpa Slip Flange.csv) has a typo - there is one extra space between the 1 and the M. Not easy to spot as you can see from above.
OK, it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things - you expect some errors in all this documentation, but this one means that you can't actually complete a relatively important exercise.
Can't we have a list of errata to highlight these errors?
