Edit penset in external text editor

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:21:35 GMT

Hello, I believe I have seen info about this previously, but I am unable to find an answer to my question:

Basically, I would like to edit pensets in an external editor, rather than Options>Element Attributes>Pens & Colors dialog.

Is there a procedure to import a csv, tsv, or txt file into AC, or any other way of generating an .att file?

I hope the question is clear, I'm on AC14, thank you

I do not know a way to edit a Pen Set with an external editor application as the only file I could locate that I knew contained Pen Sets were "Attribute" (.aat) files exported from the Attribute Manager but the contents of that file were not legible to me (see example below)

You can use the Attribute Manager to share Pen Sets once you have edited them within ArchiCAD.
