Dimension Pro that comes with Sonar 8.5 Pro...

Can only be used as a plug in within Sonar? It can't be loaded/run independently? How does one access the online help for Dimension Pro?

    Hi:
     
    Welcome to the SONAR forum, boblette!
     
    See the following thread for how to run Dim Pro as a standalone program: http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=1581193&high=Running+S8PE+Dimension+Pro+Standalone%3f

    To open the Dim Pro Help file while using Dim Pro as a plug-in in SONAR:

    Open the GUI of Dim Pro, left click on the word Filter which is under the Name DIMENSIONPRO at the top right of the Dim Pro GUI, and hit F1 on your windows keyboard.

    That should bring up the Dim Pro Help file.

    Cya around.

    Thanks Thomas,
     
    This worked.
     
    I still wonder why it doesn't install beyond a plug-in since they give you a serial number to use to register it.

    Help does work for me either.

    Following the earlier instructions, I get a busy cursor for a few moments then nothing appears!

    Any ideas?

    I'm running Sonar X1 Studio and the help is broken in a lot, but not all the synths. For example zta+ works, dimension le and pro fail, rapture LE fails, DropZone works.

    I'm running windows 64bit.

    Any ideas, or solutions?

    Cheers
    Mark

    Actually sorted it using "Process Monitor" to check what file it was looking for.

    It appears the exe is looking for Dimension_Pro.chm but the file on disk is called Dimension.chm

    Going to 
    \Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Documentation
    and renaming Dimension.chm to Dimension_Pro.chm
    make it work!

    You also need to click somewhere to get focus into the plugin body (say the word FILTER just under the dimension logo), then press F1.

    enjoy:-)
