AC26 freezes when trying to import schemas configuration files

Huaralsheep — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 12:41:04 GMT

Archicad 26 freezes in the window "Import Scheme" (XML files) such as: Tool Schemes, Workspace Schemes, Command Layout Schemes, forcing me to close AC26.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience and I'm sorry to hear about the issue!

Were the schemes created in an earlier Archicad version?

If yes I would suggest trying the following method and see if it solves the issue.

The workflow to convert XML schemas between versions is to:
- open a plan in the version where the scheme was created
- import the scheme
- save the file
- open the file in the required Archicad version
- export the schemes.

I hope this helps you deal with the problem.
If it is not relevant I advise reaching out to your local support with a detail description about the issue.

Kind regards,

Thanks for answering, the problem arises when I press the "import" button, it freezes, I don't even have a chance to search the folders on my PC. I will contact the local technical service. Thanks.
