Autodesk Alias software was not able to locate the Help system.
By default, the Help for your installed product is internet-based WikiHelp. It will be accessed automatically provided you have an internet connection.
If you prefer to use a local copy of the Help, you can download it from the following location and set Alias to use it instead of WikiHelp.
http://www.autodesk.com/alias-help-download
To ensure that Alias locates the Help system:
-
In Alias, choose Preferences > General preferences and click System.
- If Help Location is Autodesk WikiHelp, ensure there is an internet connection.
- If Help Location is Installed Help, ensure that the specified path is correct.
- When the Help system is installed locally on the your file system, the pathname must be prefixed by
file:/// for example, the default paths for Alias Design 2013 English documentation would be:
file:///C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Alias2013/Help/en_US (Windows)
or
file:///Applications/Autodesk/AliasDesign2013/AliasDesign.app/Contents/Resources/Help/en_US (Mac)
(Change the product name and version to match what you have installed)
- When the Help system is on an intranet, the pathname must be prefixed by
http:// for example:
http://local.intranet/Alias{version}/Help/ (see your network administrator)
- When you are accessing the Help system directly from Autodesk's web site, the pathname should be set to:
http://download.autodesk.com/us/alias/2013help/
- Restart Alias.
- Close this window when you are done.
