I uploaded recently a SharkCAD User's Guide to the ebook device.
Unfortunately, some tools are not so detailed as in the HTML version. Sometimes it is not structured. In addition, some images are so clipped that it is barely discernible.
I know this software relatively well for my needs, but even this bothers me a little bit.

It would not be bad to put this document in order.

It is a pity that there are no more paper editions. I still occasionally leaf through a German version of ViaCAD Pro v6 printed manual. Cool!
Responsive EPUB edition would be good too.

Is there a SharkCad's German User's Guide?

Thank you @GARLIC for the link.
Firstly, this is not the actual manual. :(
Secondly, language is not a big problem.
Problems are:
1. I suspect that the manual has not been processed for a long time. 70% of the information corresponds to the printed edition of 2009. Even the layout.
2. Some tools are described superficially. In HTML version, the tools are described in more detail.
3. As shown above, the PDF file is exported with flaws(clipped images).

I like flipping through real books. Because I always find something new that I did not notice before.
It is a pity that now almost no one is doing paper manuals. :(

But can I have a quality digital edition? ;)

The version 10 manual looks fine in adobe. The description or function of all the tools is covered in the manual, if something is missing or there is specific functions that need more clarification Please post a request here on the forum for help or submit the request to bug reporter.

If there is something specific please post a request.


Its a tough balance of providing new features and prices low, in today's competitive markets. In almost all software user help is moving to videos and forums vs a paper manual, although there is a huge aftermarket of information published for many software programs by 3rd parties for a fee. I used to like having a paper manual, but I now prefer having a video or a forum to gain info quickly.

we do have a lot online too as well as Tim at MasterViaCAD.

Great!

I can freely read in three languages. But I always choose the one that I know better. ;)

When I see the same pages in different publications(2011 and 2017), it seems to me that the last has not changed much. But it is certainly a my superficial impression.

500 pages for 100€ is CopyShop price. Offset printing in larger quantities can be three times cheaper. Although probably it does not make sense.
In any case, thank you for info. I already printed the manual myself.

Hi

what is the link to the updated Shark v10 manual please.

thanks for any help

Brian

Hi

Thank you for your help with this. Manuals are always at the bottom of the list of work, and forgotten about when edited unless its something new.

I know from my own experience with updating a GIS Manual.

Thanks I will stick updates over the manual I printed I just wish someone would highlight changes to the manual.

:-)

Regards

Brian

meant layout in the context of DTP.

Functionality which does not have changed does obviously not lead to a changing documentation.


simply because it's printed and manufactured on demand. Putting larger quantities of offset printed manuals (and money) on stock for saving users some bucks (in the worst case buying with Trimble and using the German localized version without any compensation) is surely no business... especially with the manuals going down the train with the next major Shark release.

Actually, users should be happy that there is a reseller providing a thorough localization since 2003 now.
