Nosfiratu, I didn't open the Pro Pack manual until today and that was purely due to your responce here. Over-all it is decent but some things are still left grey. Purely reading the manual I was looking at boning a figure. You basically state that you import a bone structure then add, resize, delete, or remove the necessary bones yet there is no explaination on how to do so. This is one of the areas it is lacking in. Your current idea of laying out the new manual with general concepts first then running through the interface in a 'logical' manner seem on track. Logical for one person of course may not be for another, but this is a definate improvement. Now take this one step further, remember those interface folup plates that came with the standard version? How about including one of those but also have perhaps a chapter reference or page number where that menu item can be found. This gives a quick graphical 'Table of Contents' for the user. Need to know about that menu option? Look at it on the tip in and find the page in the manual it can be found on. Now one complaint about the Pro pack manual. There is no Blank page there! I love the idea of a sticker for the serial number and have always stuck it in the manual itself, usually inside front or back cover. The Pro Pack manual didn't have a blank area except for the outside back cover. The sticker was also slightly larger then the manual so I had to trim it down. Having the sticker on the outside also exposes it to all friction this manual will recieve. Moving it across the desk, sliding it into the bookshelf, or whatever can scar the serial number and perhaps over time make it unreadable. Thankfully it fits in the CD packinging so I can protect it there but it is nice to have a good blank area I can stick it to inside the cover.
