    Hi Folks,

    I just joined Xsimulator and downloaded the software and bought the 1 month Plugin package.

    Sorry for the Noob question, but how do you download the documentation?
    It is easy enough to find the Docs, but the Download links/buttons on those pages are for Winzip etc.
    Thanks

    The plugins for SimTools are in zip file format and you want to download them not open them with a program for zip file, such as Winzip. If you are confused how to do this if Wizip automatically opens then right click on the button and choose Save link as...

    You then install the zip format plugins as per the documentation under Plugin Import: http://www.xsimulator.net/simtools-quickstart/

    Thanks Noorbeast,

    I guess I chose my words poorly.
    I have no problem downloading the software or the plugins.
    My problem is trying to download the quick start guide and the full documentation ( user manual, tuning guide etc) so that I do not have to be online to read it.

    I know it sounds weird but a lot of times I print this sort of thing on paper so that it is easy to scan thru when not with a computer.

    Thanks

    In that case @slingshot why not just print the documentation page from your browser. Or you could print it to file with something like CutePDF.
