Using the Help

Supported Browsers

The following browsers support the HTML help.

• Internet Explorer version 7 or later.
• Apple Safari version 4 or later.
• Mozilla Firefox version 3.6 or later.

Search Feature

The search feature queries a wide variety of sources for each product, including the user guide, the programmer's guide, the Autodesk YouTube channels, and Autodesk forums. Each match includes an excerpt of text, the name of the source, and the date it was last updated. A locally installed help does not show results from the online sources.

Resolving the Slow Running Script Error in Offline Help

If you are using Internet Explorer 7.0 or later to view locally installed help, you might see a dialog box prompting you to decide whether to continue running the scripts. Internet Explorer tracks the total number of executed script statements and resets the value each time a new script execution starts. The dialog box appears when that value is over a threshold amount or when the scripts take a long time to run. However, you can increase the amount of time before the dialog box appears by performing these steps.

1. Using a Registry Editor, such as Regedt32.exe, open the following key:

`HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Styles`

Note: If the `Styles` key is not present, create a new key that is called `Styles.`

2. Create a new DWORD value called MaxScriptStatements under this key and set the value to the desired number of script statements. If you are unsure of what value to set, you can set it to a DWORD value of 0xFFFFFFFF to completely avoid the dialog.
