Cross-platform issues in 29

rbrt_brln — Wed, 27 May 2026 12:21:38 GMT

Since upgrading to 29 we are experiencing issues in the way Archicad handles paths. In previous versions, I could set publisher paths and translators or place drawings from the server and the Windows PCs had absolutely no trouble reading the path '/Volumes/Project/...' The server is mounted in smb://

Now in 29 the PCs are getting a path 'On Mac: /Project/...' and cannot publish or update drawings. They have to relink everything to /D:/Project/... and the I can't access it like it's always been.

In order to install Archicad 29 I had to upgrade my Mac from Monterey and now run Sonoma. Although I have not noticed any changes in network behavior, could it possibly be something different in Sonoma? Has anyone experienced this and have a suggestion?

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based 14 Sonoma

Can someone at least say if cross-platform Teamwork projects are working in 29 as they were previously?

I am honestly suprised that it ever worked for you.

We have this issue since 2020 and never found a solution for it.

Probably the simplest solutions to this problem would be ArchiCAD supporting path variables.

Unfortunatly that seems not to be possible.

ArchiCAD does not seem to support different OS environments.

I had contacted Graphisoft about this a while back and and was actually able to get it working but we've not upgraded to AC29 yet. One thing support told me to do during the process was check off this box in work environment. They support article below is a lot more thorough than the first one that pops up on google. I had to switch to "network locations" to get the universal file path to work.

I'm aware that it is a known problem but it was actually working for years in our environment even after the others updated to Windows 11

If you mean uncheck the afp connection, this has always been left unchecked

Sorry bad wording on my part, they instructed me to have the box checked. It was previously unchecked.

We haven't started using AC 29 yet but I've noticed that by default the box is checked. In AC 28 and older it seems like the box is unchecked by default.
