    Default Revit 2011 - make Help local

    Maybe it's just me but hitting F1 in Revit 2011 to access Help via the internet is a real pain.
    (and whatever happened to context sensitive Help... one of the few advantages of an application running on Windows OS? )

    Anyway, there is a simple way to enable the local installed Help document:
    http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...linkID=9243099

    although the values described are already listed in the revit.ini file in RAC2011

    [Documentation]
    UseHelpServer=0
    HelpBrowser=0

    Setting 'UseHelpServer=0' does the trick.

    I know I may be missing out on Help file updates but it should be possible to download those rather than constantly have to access the Autodesk website.

    Default Re: Revit 2011 - make Help local

    I don't mind having the Help files on the internet so much. But hitting Help in certain windows doesn't really go to the right place in my opinion.

    I always have to hit the Help button when working with formulas in families because I can never remember the proper syntax for various functions. The local help file used to come up with those topics readily available when you hit the Help button from the Family Parameters dialog box. But yesterday I tried it and it took me to a spot in the internet Help that somewhat dealt with families, but I ended up having to run a search for Formulas to find the info I needed.
