Archicad 12 - Missing Print Scale menu

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 11:45:50 GMT

Hi,

I'm using Archicad 12 on Macintosh OS 10.5.
When I try to print a project, preferences on Archicad menu is missing.
So, I can't see scale or change ant scale.
There is an image to show that menu is empty, for all printers.

I tried with Archicad 11 and it's fine, so, the problem may not be printers drivers.
This is Portuguese version.

UPDATE:
I have other machines (PPC and INTEL) that are running MAC OS 10.4.
This doesn't happens on 10.4 versions.

Where are you printing from?

Layouts? Views? Publisher?

From Layout.

As you can see, nothing appears.

Something is missing. Mine works in 10.5.

First, update to AC12 2325 if possible. If that doesn't work, re-install Archicad.

Did you ever solve this? We're using ArchiCAD v11 and Mac OS 10.5.7 and had the same problem.

Here's the solution, at least for us. We use 2 monitors -the laptop monitor and a second screen. If you try to print a layout from whichever monitor is the secondary monitor (for us it was the laptop screen), the preferences in the archicad menu in the print screen will be blank. If you move the layout to the primary screen and try to print, everything will be fine.

Crazy, huh? I'm very impressed with the coworker who figured this out; turns out he was printing layouts from both screens, so things worked half the time. And our computer guy kept yelling at him "you must be doing something different!" Turns out he was.

Never had a solution... But I allready got that "solution".
We use an external monitor on the laptop. When the printing window is on the external monitor, nothing appears. t appears only when the printing window is on the macbook's LCD.
