Disconnect between the tutorial and the software I have
HyperMesh 2022.3 Core Tutorials.
One of the first tutorials (HM-1020) instructs me to use Mesh/Translate. There is no such command. There is Move. The GUI elements also look different. The shift-left-click selection method doesn't work. The "Quick Window" does not appear on left click, but there is some context menu on right click...
It seems to me that this is not the only place where the documentation hasn't caught up with the software. Is that an accurate observation?
Edit: Wow, so far about every fifth step actually agreed between the docs and the sw. That is pretty bad.

So, does it mean I can choose whether I want to use the old or the new interface?
Also, it sounds as if there was no actual written tutorial for HM 2022? Only the document that still refers to the old interface? And, then there are the video tutorials you linked, it appears.
Altair EmployeeYes, you can choose the old or the new HyperMesh interface. Separate documentation is maintained for both.
For the classic interface, see https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hm/index.htm
For the new HyperMesh experience, see https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hwx/index.htm
The new Hypermesh experience has fewer text-based tutorials compared to classic, but there are some for Squeak and Rattle, Publishing/Reporting, Design Space, and Design Explorer workflows. In the 2023 release and beyond, more classic tutorials are being converted and we’ll soon have text tutorials for interface basics, geometry, meshing, morphing, and more.
Hello Petr,
HyperMesh 2022.3 actually has two sets of tutorials, one for our classic interface and one for the New HyperMesh Experience. From your description, it sounds like you are using the new interface, so you’ll want to look at our set of video tutorials located here: https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hwx/topics/tutorials/hwx/video_tutorials_r.htm
The tutorials for the classic interface are located here: https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hm/topics/chapter_heads/tutorials_r.htm
This split will be eliminated when we transition fully to the New HyperMesh Experience in the upcoming HyperMesh 2023.
