Are you aware of any place where there might be some practical help, on
how to make use of this program.
I mean of real examples of one using this program, not a load of long
theories but examples.
Such as you used to get on programs of years gone by, unfortunley
lately manual are written with the assumption
that people have far more understanding then what is actualy there.
What I mean is telling you as example to draw up a wing
Step one is this, now step two due this and so on and on
,once you learn to get down the basics and you can make out the idee
the programer had in mind it because easier.
Wher have all the real good writer gone. If you have taken up the
manual for Autocad where in the old days the gave you some practical
examples it gave one a chance,but now that just does not to be arround
any more.
Look at some manuals the tell you what all wonderfull things the
program can due, but the do not seem to be able to tell you or teach you
how.
