Glossary or Definition of Terms used in HD

[Mark1010]

Is there a glossary of terms used in HD? The reference diagrams in many of the dialogs are not always precise enough to to understand the exact meaning or how the setting is going to be applied.

Not presently, I have suggested this be done, several times over the years, in actual fact the last glossary that appeared in Chief Inc documentation is one that I compiled with the agreement of then then Tech Writer for Chief Premier Version 6 in 1999 (she left the company after that, and I have yet to find another sympathetic ear there). For now you just have to fend for yourself in terms of clearing up terms. Your best source is the WWW or asking here or at Chief Talk.

You are so right, in that if you do not understand the terms used, you will not have an easy time understanding the documentation, that is why a glossary is so basically fundamental relative to study.

Thanks David.

So far I've been impressed with the amount of tutorials and documentation, but the lack of a glossary seems a glaring deficiency. For now I guess I'll muddle through with some trial and error and a bit steeper learning curve.

Wikipedia and Google Images are both invaluable resources for learning building terms if you aren't familiar with them.
