Users just beginning need the most help. I urge Altium to create documentation that helps users get started. Good examples and how-to topics are essential. Well-structured reference works are needed also.
I have had difficulty getting work done using SimCode and the XSPICE-based simulation tools because of the lack of both good examples and how-to topics, along with the lack of well-made comprehensive reference information.

My pet peeve about Altium in general. The documentation is there, but only in a form useful to an experienced user as reference; virtually *NO* useful examples or explanation of new features. Basically, if you know enough about a topic to search for it by name, you probably already have a pretty good idea how to use it. Otherwise you just have to rely on stumbling across it sooner or later. I have been using DXP/2004 for over a year, and am just starting to get used to Query building for example. I have gotten far better help from this forum than from the Altium documentation...

But it would be nice if there were some documentation with lots of examples on how to achieve global edits. Particularly the use of "Build query" which I do not use because it never delivers what I want it to, because I do not know how to use it properly. This is because the documentation is not there.
