<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Navigation:  Drawing Environment > Ribbon menus > The “Help” tab > The “Help” panel > AutoCAD Help (F1)

This is the standard AutoCAD HELP command, which gives access to the AutoCAD HELP feature.

 

The HELP command displays the online or offline Help system.

 

Press F1 while hovering over a tooltip or when a command is active to display help for that command.

 

In the Help window, left panel, specify audience and content filters to narrow your search results.

 

Press <CTRL_F> to locate a word or phrase within any topic.

 

By default, online Help is displayed. You can download offline Help for those circumstances when you don't have internet access.

 

Note: The online Help uses more modern search technology and is more likely to have up-to-date information.
