AddOn compatibility with 19

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 14:22:32 GMT

Hi All. It seems that the version 18 AddOn I'm working on will not load into version 19. The AddOn Manager reports incompatibility. Is there something I need to do? I presume a registered AddOn still works with a trial licence.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know Add-Ons need to be recompiled for each new version of the program. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

That's correct. There is a different API for every version of ArchiCAD, and a different build has to be made for every version. This means code changes too, and sometimes very extensive. In AC19 (for example) you will have to change the way you handle undoable sessions.

So how do I get the Sketchup in-out add-on to work? Can't find any info or instruction - even though it shows in the list it does not seem to load -- or I can't find it. Just want to load some objects from the warehouse.

Thanks for the replies. Just realised there's a new SDK for version 19.
