ID 235341 - [Docs] Documentation for pinning of manipulators in the *Viewer* tab is wrong

Follow

Problem summary:

The documentation of pinning of manipulators in the Viewer tab is wrong, and needs to be updated.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Check the documentation of the pinning of manipulators.

Expected behaviour:

The documentation should state something like:

Select Manipulators > Pin [manipulator type], or press P, to pin the manipulator in the viewer so that its geometry and handles will still be drawn and made available when choosing a different manipulator from the same group. For example, this allows you to keep the geometry of a Cone Angle manipulator for a spot light visible, while modifying the light's properties with the Decay Regions manipulator.

Actual behaviour:

The documentation states:

Select Manipulators > Pin [manipulator type], or press P, to pin the manipulator in the viewer so that it cannot be modified.

Workaround:

No known workaround.

Reproduced versions/platforms:

  • Firefox 38.6.1/Linux

Customer version/platform:

Not supplied.
