If you haven't taken a look at the X3 manual, your in for a treat! It's been getting a great refresh. The PDF has much better hyperlinking, complete bookmarking, updated diagrams, a 2 column index vs. the old 3 column index which allows for longer descriptions which helps finding what your looking for faster, and some other new goodies. Check it out!

Roger:

Because both DataCAD LT and the full (Pro) version of DataCAD now share a common manual, Pro refers to features not available in DataCAD LT.

That's what I guessed, but seems like no where else DataCad is refered to as the PROfessional version, and I didn't see a disclaimer in the front, but didn't read it word 4 word.

The hyperlinking doensn't work on mine but I have Acrobat X. So that really is of no help.

It's not working in the full version of Adobe Acrobat? Have you tried Adobe Reader? It's working here on PDF XChange Viewer.

It's not working on the basic version (Acrobat X 10.0.3) that reads and writes. I have to have this to be able to do multiple plotting on Win & Pro 64 bit with our Xerox 6204 as there is an issue with the driver on that utility called BT Plot assistant. If DataCAD would put multiple pages into one file, I probably wouldn't even need it, but it does work pretty well for that without changinging vector data to bitmap and so on like the free PDF writers out there.

I believe there is a bug in that PDF file because I don't have this problem with other PDF's hyperlinks. I'm thinking DataCAD must have used a non Adobe writer to create the help file. I tried to Edit it and re-save it but it's locked down.
