The full version of the ZW3D documentation is available by selecting Help Browser from the
ZW3D Help Menu. Go to the "\ZWSOFT\ZW3D 2012 Eng\doc" directory on the ZW3D
program directory and open the file "ZW3D.chm".
This Turning Training Guide is available as a printed manual and in PDF format. To view or
print the PDF version, install Adobe Acrobat Reader and open the corresponding files in the
"\ZWSOFT\ZW3D 2012 Eng\PDF" folder in the program directory. Refer to the HELP Manual
for information relating to specific tasks.
1. For best results, view and print the PDF version of the documentation using Adobe Acrobat
Reader.
2. Since the Turning Training Guide is only a portion of the complete documentation, it is
highly suggested that you utilize the HELP Manual. You will find additional topics and more
information on the commands, options, input options, additional command notes, and cross-links
to related tasks and topics.
3. It should be noted that the HELP Manual will always be more up-to-date than any printed or
PDF material. If you find any discrepancies between the two, always refer to the HELP Manual
4. While you are working with ZW3D, simply press F1 to view the documentation about the
command you select.
ZW3D Training recommends that users print or make an extra copy of Appendix B and
Appendix C to use as a quick reference guide for ZW3D milling operations
