ISD Online Help / Documents
This page provides you with links to the Online Helps* for our products HiCAD (2-D/3-D for all industries) and HELiOS (PDM/PLM) and other tools. In addition, you will find links to other important documents here, such as the "Getting Started“ guide resp. the "Installation Notes" etc.
Please choose the desired product version from the selection box first.
Please note that the PDF preview in the HELiOS Desktop no longer works with Acrobat Reader DC from Version 2021.011.20039. As an alternative, we recommend using Foxit Reader. Before installing it, you must uninstall Acrobat Reader DC. You may also have to adjust the configuration file hel_preview.ini if Acrobat Reader was explicitly defined for PDF preview there.
