but I don't know how to get to them while in Visual Studio
moreover in my above said folder I don't see files like those in your post #44 screenshot. instead I see
- AdskManaged_2014.CAB
- AdskNative_2014.CAB
- helpcontentsetup.msha
- MergeHelp.dll
- MergeHelp
(don't know how to attach a printscreen!)
When I install the SDK Documentation using ..\docs\Setup.exe, the files are located here OOTB, which I'll use in the following steps:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Autodesk ObjectARX 20## Help Files\
To manually add the ObjectARX Documentation to Visual Studio, try going to Help menu in VS, and select 'Add and Remove Help Content' menu item.
In the Microsoft Help Viewer dialog, go to Manage Content tab, set 'Installation source' radio button to 'Disk', then click on the ellipse button [...], navigate to the SDK Documentation install folder, select the 'helpcontentsetup.msha' file, and hit OK.
In the Microsoft Help Viewer dialog, you should now see the 'Autodesk, Inc. --> Autodesk ObjectARX (Native & Managed) --> Autodesk AutoCAD 2014, with an 'Add' link available under the 'Action' column. Click 'Add', and then in the bottom right, click the 'Update' button (mine has an Install Shield icon). A security alert will prompt you to accept the Autodesk signed content. Once complete, the 'Add' link will be changed to 'Remove', and you will now see the newly installed Documentation in the 'Contents' pane to the left.
Now, all that *should* be left to do, is go back to Visual Studio's Help menu, 'Set Help Preferences' menu item, and choose 'Launch in Help Viewer' (OOTB mine is set to 'Launch in Browser', which pulls from MSDN Help Online instead of Autodesk Help Online).
To test, select any AutoCAD Class (aka Type), such as Polyline, and hit F1 - Stupefacente!
