Problem Title:
Mentor: How to bring up the the pld_* help menu Mentor PDF docs that are installed.


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

I have installed the acrobat documents for the Mentor documentation, but
when I goto the Help pulldown menus, I don't get these docs. How do I
get the acrobat documents to open through the pld_* programs' help
menus?


Solution 1:

In order to view these documents you must have Acrobat Exchange installed.
Once this is done set the following variables:

setenv MGC_HELP_VIEWER acroexch
set path=(/path_to_acrobat_exch/bin $path)

(i.e. set path=(/products/idea.C2/acrobat_exch/bin $path)

Now when you are in any pld_* program such as pld_dmgr, when you goto the
Help menu pulldown items Acrobat Exchange will startup and pull up the
selected docs.
