macOS Sequoia In Use

Lee Hankins — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 09:37:19 GMT

I have upgraded to macOS Sequoia (15) and will post my finding of using AC27 and 28 Tech Preview here.

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon 15.0 Sequoia

I have come across an issue where it is not possible to select a page size under print settings for a specific printer. Only 'Any Printer' is displayed even though printers are installed. I have reported this to support. It affects both Archicad 27 and 28.

When launching Archicad 28 Tech Preview for the first time after upgrading to Sequoia I had to sign in to Archicad again with my email and serial number so make sure you have the serial number to hand when upgrading. I assume this wouldn't affect the official release.

Just a quick comment - the Technology Preview is running on cloud license only and does not require any serial number. I assume you tested Beta with a CodeMeter license and that's why you have a serial number.

Hi @Noemi Balogh ,

That could be the issue, although I completely uninstalled the Beta version and installed the Tech Preview and the update so not sure why the tech preview version has requested the serial number.

Same issue - in Page Setup on MS Word, Apple Pages, Adobe Acrobat, under Page Setup only 'Any Printer' is now selectable since the Sequoia 'upgrade. If I chose Print however, both my printers are listed and are accessible.

Hi @Derek Williams,

That’s interesting to read. I don’t get that issue in Preview. I haven’t checked other apps yet.

Hi @Lee Hankins,

Only some apps have the Page Setup dialog, and from what I just checked, Preview is not one of them. Are you sure you didn't check the Print dialog (which works fine in Archicad too)?

Hi,

same issue here after installing macOS 15.0 Sequoia. Since then -no matter which application or in system-settings- the pagesize cannot be chosen larger than A3 (i.e. from Kyocera).

But we need A2 - A0 using with the canon imageprograf as well as formerly under macOS Sonoma. Uninstalling an re-installing the printers didn´t help anyway.

Hi @Oleksandra Vakariuk,

It is the 'Page Setup' dialogue which doesn't allow the selection of page size other than the standard A4, A3 etc. For some reason when I click 'Reply' on your post it accepted it as a solution and I can't change that. When I click the three vertical dots and select anything from the pop-up dialogue nothing responds. This is the same if I try and edit my posts.

@Lee Hankins I assume since you are using a Mac that you are also using the Safari browser. There is a bug in these forums such that you cannot edit posts using Safari. It sounds like that might also affect some other features. I reported this bug when this new forum format first launched but it has not been fixed. I'd like to raise the issue again but I'm not sure the best person to contact. In the meantime editing in Chrome does work.

@SeaGeoff ,

I’ve noticed this too and have reported it. Apparently it’s a known issue and randomly affects Safari. Some updates to Safari make it work again and then others cause it to break and they cannot locate the issue. It has been suggested to use Firefox or Chrome. Unfortunately there are quite a few website have issues with Safari.

Interestingly editing with Safari on an iPad works just fine.

That’s useful to know.

Not sure if this was resolved. I went simple method of adding to any printer option in page settings required paper size under manage custom sizes.

Then set that size to be active with any printer. Once I picked print option and changed to printer to be used it seems to have taken previously chosen size for printing. Couple of screenshots showing different sized paper below.

Not sure if this will do as workaround. Also note that Safari is not letting us reply to topic hence my reply using Microsoft Edge.

Now for the more pressing issue that came up after installing Preview AC27 3.0 update. After installing it licence manager now doesn't let me sign in to server to upload licence. After pressing Sign in button all I get is greyed out button and no pop up dialog shows up to sign in. Only solution is to quit and we have ne means of uploading our licences at this point so lets hope no issues arise whilst solution is found.

ArchiCAD 27.2.2 Hotfix did not have this issue.

Be sure to contact Central Innovation with this problem.

I have not yet installed the 27.3 preview, but it is certainly all working with 27.2

Are you able to upload the license key directly from Archicad rather than using License Manager?

Lee Hankins — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 05:24:26 GMT

@Sinisa Lazarevic,

Thanks for that. This could be a workaround until either Apple or Graphisoft fix the issue. I suspect it’s Apple as it affects most software where Page Setup is available.

I am not well versed on contacting "powers to be" so happy for any of you to do that on my behalf regarding inability to upload licence via licence manager tool.
