ArchiCAD & Mac OS X / Windows

Anonymous — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 01:30:57 GMT

Is there a spotlight importer plugin that would allow me to search for stuff inside of ArchiCAD files using the spotlight search feature of Mac OS X? Similarly, do you have a plugin that would allow the Vista search feature to find content in ArchiCAD files?

Is there a Quick Look plugin that would provide a preview image of an ArchiCAD file on Mac OS X? Similarly, do you have the plugin necessary that would provide a preview image for the Vista preview pane?

Thank you.

Others have written QuickLook plugins for certain file types (see this one for Zip files )

I would really like it if GS would make one for AC.

The link to the importer is broken right now...know of anywhere else it could be found?

Nope. Check with your reseller. They should have a copy, or else report the missing link to GS.

There is for some of Nemetschek's products, just not (yet) the one I use:

Is this plugin compatible with Leopard?

Unless I've missed something in the last few days, Archicad is not yet fully compatible with Leopard, so the plugin probably isn't either.

As stated by Graphisoft, there are no significant known Archicad-specific issues other than the current Wibu-key server, which doesn't work with Leopard. It affects only network licenses. Do a search and you'll find more info.
