CadImage Keynotes

_c_ — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:19:49 GMT

Hallo,
für ein Projekt in AC 27 würden wir gerne die Keynotes von CadImage verwenden, können das Projekt aber nicht auf AC 28 konvertieren. Ich habe CadImage wegen Lizenzierung bereits angeschrieben, aber sie antworten nicht. Weiß jemand, wie man sie erreichen kann?

Danke

Cadimage wurde jetzt von Graphisoft gekauft, da ist vielleicht einiges im Umbruch.

Allerdings sind die Jungs von CI auch hier im Forum, unter anderem Josh.

Hey Josh@ci-JoshOs,

maybe you can help the OP?

Wäre ja schön, wenn die Inhalte von CI in den Servicevertragteil wandern würden. Da ist sicherlich etwas hilfreiches dabei.

Hi - I don't speak the language I'm afraid, but it sounds like you are having some sort of trouble migrating Keynotes from Archicad 27 to Archicad 28?

I don't know of any issue with doing that, but if you could give me some more info, I'd be happy to help

Just reply here, or email our support desk at nz.support@centralinnovation.com

Hi ci-JoshOs, thank you for your answer.

"We’d like to use the keynotes from CadImage for a project in AC 27, but we can’t convert the project to AC 28. I’ve already contacted CadImage about licensing, but they haven’t responded. Does anyone know how to reach them?"

We would like to purchase some licences of Keynotes for AC 27. We know that it is in AC from 28 (and even better in AC29), but we are unable to convert the project for a number of reasons (not technical). I sent a licence request but got no answer.

Do you think that we can purchase them?

Keynotes are a very precious addition for construction drawings, specially in the German environment, which is more technical than others.

I come originally from Vectorworks where there are keynotes since long and used them extensively. I have there a full Detail Databank built in the last 30 years which I want to translate in Archicad. In VW keynotes consisted in:

keynote objects (things with a number/letter and connecting lines), optionally linkable to:
xml Datasource[s], with some rather basic classification
Legends organizing the keynotes to the wished sequence
Management of the whole of it at document level

This was in VW full of ugliness and source of endless complaints, but still better to have than not. I know you have some other former power Vectorworks user in your lot (Jonathan Pickup, are you there?) and nobody would want to be without Keynotes. I am so glad to have found this extremely useful addition for Archicad, just as I was about to set down and develop something myself.

Ah ok - yes a Ci Tools subscription gives you the current version of the tool, plus all versions back as well - or at least as far back as Archicad 18 - so they will work fine for Archicad 27

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a purchase link on the forum, but you can buy a Subscription here - Keynotes is actually free with any subscription plan, so if Keynotes is the only tool you actually want, just get a Basic plan and choose 2 other tools that might be of interest, and then when you come to install things, you can just install Keynotes

https://myci.centralinnovation.com/buy

I should note that the Tools are currently only available in English - they will install and run fine in any version, but will only be in English wherever they are (for now)

If you have any other questions about it, please let me know
