I’ m using Rhinoceros 20141217 on MacOS 10.8.5 with a german GUI.
There are three ways to access a command in Rhinoceros, but there shouldn’t be three different names for a command. While working through the german user guide, I found some commands where the name given in the main menu differs from the name in the tooltip / drop down menu and that differs from the command used on the command line:
Menu:
Kurve | Punktobjekt | Einzelner Punkt
Kurve | Punktobjekt | Mehrere Punkte
Tooltip:
Einzelner Punkt
Mehrere Punkte
Command:
Punkt
Punkte
This isn’t really a problem, “Punkt” and “Punkte” is probably what one tries first.
Menu:
Transformieren | Drehen
Transformieren | 3D-Rotation
Tooltip:
2D-Rotation
3D-Rotation
Command:
Drehen
3DRotation
This is a problem because when you type “drehen” you won’t find “Rotation” and when you type “Rotation” as seen in the tooltip, you won’t find “Drehen”
Menu:
Transformieren | Skalieren | 3D-Skalieren
Transformieren | Skalieren | 2D-Skalieren
Transformieren | Skalieren | 1D-Skalieren
Tooltip:
3D-Skalieren
2D-Skalieren
1D-Skalieren
Command:
Skalieren
2D-Skalieren
1D-Skalieren
Maybe use the 1D, 2D, 3D as a postfix.
Menu:
Transformieren | Anordnen | Rechtwinklig
Transformieren | Anordnen | Polar
Tooltip:
Rechteckige Anordnung
Polare Anordnung
Command:
Anordnen
PolarAnordnen
Note the difference “Rechtwinklig” = perpendicular and “Rechteckig” = rectangular.
You probably want the later.
Menu:
Volumenkörper | Rohr an Kurve
Tooltip:
Rohr, Flache Deckflächen [1]
Rohr, Runde Deckflächen [1]
Command:
Rohr an Kurve
[1] No help text found.
Here the drop down menu offers two choices that are not in the menu and don’t have commands. This probably confuses the help function.
Are you interested in this kind of bug reports?
