registry hacks

Anonymous — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 09:29:04 GMT

Hello,

Not sure if this is really a developer topic but upon searching for help about an unrelated topic I've just found out about some very usefull and undocumented ArchiCAD 9 registry hacks.

Just wondering if anyone has compiled a list of what all the switches do? and if I can expect stability after playing with them.

Thanks,
Adam

I suggest you to avoid change the Registry values ,unless you are 200% sure about what that registry value controls.

Naturally, you can not expect stable behavior if you modify your registry (or Mac preferences). Only things documented by Graphisoft themselves are supported by them. (Of course, their license offers no guarantee about the stability of just using the program, for that matter... like all such licenses. 😉 )

But, naturally, many of the registry (preference) values are self-explanatory and are benign. Some are discussed in the archives here (archicad-talk). These include disabling the temporary Amyuni driver, enabling the Special Menu, and changing font sizes.

As always, modify at your own risk unless directed by Graphisoft Technical Support. 😉
