Flame offline help documentation

Flame Flame Questions
1

Hi everyone,
When I go to Help>Flame Help
It does not load the documentation in firefox as flame is not connected to the internet.

Where can I download and install the entire flame user manual to view offline?

Firefox says
A local version of flame help can be installed from

You must be connected to the internet to perform the download

I clicked on this link on my phone and could not find it.

Also does it need to be downloaded and installed here
/opt/Autodesk/flame_2024.2.1/documentation

Thanks for all the help in advance

Cheers

This topic is quite old but, I needed an offline version of the help document. As @Deepakpais mentioned, if you’re offline and click the Flame Help from within Flame, the offline html does say ”A local version of flame help can be installed from _______” which takes you to the above link.

It would be great if it was actually possible to have an offline version of the document. I am working on a tutorial series and wanted to feed it to notebookLM as a source but, no dice. Sooo I vibe-coded some scripts and got the html files into a pdf. Internal links are not working and I didn’t scrape the images.

It is enough for my purpose at the moment. But let me know if you need it so I can put some more time into it and try to get a better document, or let me know if you want it as is.

I also believe it is necessary for Autodesk to provide PDF help documents.

Here is the mishmash of a pdf that I scraped off of the online help pages. It doesn’t look good but it is a usable offline documentation. I just used it to check if it answered @Jonhollis’s question about deleting the markers and it answered.
Just upload it into notebookLM, wait for it to read through and ask any questions you might have.

PDF get out of date very quickly, this is why we do not provide our documentation as PDF.

So, if you want a local version of the Online help of the week, there are many applications that allow you to save a section of a web site as PDF. Google is your friend :wink:

Hi Sinan.

What app did you use to do it? I’m trying to download the online documentation and I’d like to know how do it. Tipical apps like httrack don’t convert the scrapped website to a pdf (as far as I know)

Hey @kily
I actually used LLMs to create the scripts for me. Google’s Antigravity took it too seriously and tried to write a whole framework for it. Then it was a tennis match between chatGPT and Antigravity. I fed back the error messages so they get what the problems are. When one got stuck with one, I gave the code to the other.

Also had to install some libraries with Homebrew on the mac and used them to get it working. I was so sloppy doing it, I might need to do it from scratch when 2027 is released.

But man, I’m loving this vibe-coding stuff.
