DWG Editor Help FIles 2

For anyone using the DWG Editor, the recent 1.1 SP for SolidWorks has disabled the internal link inside the DWG Editor to activate the help files when you click help.

I spoke to tech support today, and they acknowledge the problem, and are fixing it in the next SP. For now their work around is to create a desktop shortcut to the help files, which are there just not accesable from inside the editor.

Here is the file path:

< your solidworks root dir> \dwgeditor\lang\english\help\dwgeditor.chm

Hope this helps.
 
You can correct the registry entry
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\solidworks\solidworks 2005\DWGEditor\Profiles\Default\Config\Help with the correct path.

(careful editing your registry! Don't do it if you're not experienced!)

Regards
