Pop-ups, Videos

Pop-ups: When you click green text, you will see a pop-up dialog. We use pop-ups for low-level information, terminology and reminders of less complex topics.

Videos: Click the image to play the video. Note: from January 2021, videos in SWF file-type are not supported by Adobe®.

SWF videos are being replaced with the MP4 file-type videos for the on-line help, and with the GIF file-type videos for the off-line help (MechDesigner.CHM). If you find a Video that does not play, please email us, and we can replace it with a video of the correct file-type.

Expand Text

You can expand or collapse help sections to read more or to read less. For example, you can:

When you Click this heading to read more... this section expands to show this text.

If you Click this heading to read more... again, this section collapses, to hide this text.

However, you can also expand sections inside sections.
