Error message I do not understand

Anonymous — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:17:40 GMT

What does this mean...

"Duplicated database name "AC...11...US" at line 2 in the 2D Script of the MASTER_GPLAC_11_US.gdl"

Is this bad or just annoying.

Database in this case means the collection of Component and Descriptor definitions (plus some other stuff) that is being used by ArchiCAD's Calculation functions.
These databases can be defined in GDL, too.
Any file in your loaded Libraries that start with "MASTER_..." and end with ...GDL" will be executed whenever you load or reload your libraries.
There is a line in that MASTER GDL file which defines a DATABASE.
But it seems that there are more than one of these MASTER GDL files in your loaded libraries and 2 of them trying to create databases with the same name.
So as the easiest solution I would remove one of them from my loaded libraries, because the other solution would be to start editing the GDL code of those files and I don't know if that would be a good idea.

Most likely, you have loaded two sets of libraries. Maybe the ArchiCAD 12 Library as well as an archive library or maybe an ArchiCAD 11 library. Each will probably have a Master GDL file. You could try to keep only the ArchiCAD 12 Library version and remove the Master GDL from the other libraries you are loading and see if it works. Otherwise you should be fine having a duplicate anyway. I have never had problems from this.

This thread is 4 months old, when there was no AC12.
