Setting User Name In Header/Footer

Ted Taylor — Wed, 03 Mar 2004 22:31:10 GMT

I would like to change the "User Name" in the Header/Footer when printing a quick and dirty, but I can not figure out where it is hidden. Even tried RTFM with no joy. Anybody know the secret?

Thanks

Try >Apple P<
or Print and scroll down to <ArchiCAD> -Third bar
Click on the <Header Footer>
Select <Options>
and fill in the blanks as you wish.

Thanks Jacek, I found what I was looking for after turning on Help Tags. The tag for User Name states that the name comes from the operating system. Solution is to go to System Preferences, select Accounts in the System bar and change the name there.

I am not sure this is the most appropriate place for Archicad to be obtaining this info and I would like to see more flexibility in the Header/Footer. If this has not been posted as a wish list item, I will try to do so shortly.

You can always use the Custom field. IMHO it is good to provide the login user name as defined in the system, especially in big networked offices, as then you can keep track who printed what when.
