Archicad 10 hotfix (build 987) is out now

Greg Kmethy — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 14:07:45 GMT

We have released a hotfix for Archicad 10 (build 987) for the PC and Mac PowerPC platform (The Intel mac version released 2 days ago is compiled from this build too, so Intel Mac users don't need to install this). Some language versions (e.g. NZE, FRA, FIN) are not yet available, but will be uploaded early next week. The patch applies to the education licences too.

Where can we see the release notes about what was fixed in this hotfix?

Thanks,

LABELS NOT WORKING IN SECTIONS!!!!

Aussie John — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 00:59:49 GMT

Labels in section view not working!!!
Add a label to any element in a section view and they are invisible. Select label tool and command A and they are highlighted but invisible.

I cant even test if the previous bug of crashing when a drawing tried to update when an object had the object label applied.

This means you cant apply window door codes to any elevations.
hotfix 3 hurry up

they appear to work if you use the arrow/ID option but not if if you use a label object

The bug whereby a column with a wall stopping at the edge of the column (rather than passing through) doesnt provide a recognisable boundary for a zone is still present

ARCHICAD STILL CRASHES

Aussie John — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 01:22:22 GMT

Some more testing:
Even though you cant see them - add an object label to an object in section. Save as a quick view and add to a layout. It will crash Archicad when updating.

I would of though any crashing bug reported to GS would be at the top of the priority list to be fixed.

This seriously effects my work flow as I attach a label in plan and dont have to retype the description again in a section or elevation view.

John, considering your earlier posts would you suggest updating is worth this extra hassle.

if you rely on labels in your sections and elevations then no. At least in build 966 you could attach ID numbers to window doors and basic note to slabs etc
(although sadly not objects)
Regardless the issue with crashing is with all the issued builds

John,

We will check this, but please also make sure you report this bug to your local tech support.

And please always submit your bug reports! Each Hotfix contains the fixes for the most frequent crashes. So the more a type of crash is submitted, the better the chances are for a fix. Crashes are not always listed in the "Fixed bug list" , since most of them don't have a comprehensible description. Nevertheless, each hotfix contains several of them.

This has been reported twice to my local rep. This is the third attempt to report the bug. I also reported directly to GS via the crash bug report application.

I have also previously tried to discuss this in the forums but since no-one responded to my comments and since this isnt deemed to be a common problem I can only assume that the label tool is so quirky that no one uses it.

Also often a bug is notified in the forum and as a result usually only one person reports the bug through the "correct" channel but that doesnt necessarily mean it hasnt effected significant number of people.

Anyway I am pleased to seem have have gotten onto your bug database

Confirmed
GS fix this up ASAP, we are using the label tool extensively in plans/sections/elevations although we are labeling just structural elements like walls, slabs etc, rarely objects (that's why I have not picked that up).

one more thing with the label tool - it tends to uncheck the 'label elements' check box after moving/changing label type or ID of an element AND at the same time keeps the label on, so to get that fixed we have to click on the check box (label disappears - the check box is ON) and then click that off and back on again. I can hear screaming of our drafties - 'where is me bloody label' in my dreams already.

Yes you probably heard my screams from Adelaide. Also sometimes it turns off when you change the ID as well. Apart from the quirks I like labels

it took me three attempts to install the hotfux. after wading through various IFC and 3rd party add-on un-installs i finally get done only to find the finder 'Get Info' tags still showing build 966 and the 'grid tool' and 'polycount' add-ons no longer load.

took me half an hour to muddle and mess around with things that the installers should handle. who do i bill for my time?

could graphisoft's release manager actually start to manage things in the future please?
