Planimate® Support is provided in several ways


Help Files

Planimate ships with help files which cover the major aspects of Planimate. These are available in the Help menu. These Include animated tutorials that provide simple lessons in using the basic elements of Planimate.

The animated tutorials use Adobe Flash animations and require that you have the Flash plugin installed for Internet Explorer, used since the help files use the Microsoft HTML Help framework.

The help files are becoming superceeded by the online wiki.

Context Sensitive Help

In many locations in Planimate you will find dialog boxes that have a "Help" button, which provides you with relevant information about that dialog and its contents. In newer versions of Planimate these will access content from the online Planimate Wiki.

Online Planimate Wiki

Planimate is continually enhanced with new capabilities. Online reference and release notes are available at http://wiki.planimate.com/ .

The wiki contains a growing collection of searchable and cross referenced pages, including release notes, FAQs and reference tables.
