Exporting a view map to another Archicad

Hi, using AC 27 I created my own, very extensive view map.

After installing AC 28, I wanted to create a pattern on a new file with new libraries, I managed to import layered structures, etc. but I would like to know if there is any option to export the entire view map?

Operating system used: Windows

No.

View contain settings for layers, scale, pen sets, graphic overrides, renovation filters, design options and many more settings.

That is why you can not transfer them from one file to another because the chances you would have all of the same settings available would be very remote.

Unfortunately you have to recreate the views you want.

Thank you very much for your help. I have to create it from the beginning 🙂

Because you are changing from 27 to 28, you are a little trapped and you won't be able to win.

Of course you can just open your 27 project (i.e. use it as a template) and you will already have all of your views set up.

But because you are changing to 28, you will not have the new 28 library packs, and any objects already in your file will continue to be 27 objects.

As well as any favourites you have set up that are for the 27 objects.

So, you have to find all 27 objects and replace them with the 28 equivalent.

Load the 28 library packs and remove the 27 library.

You will now see all the missing objects that you have to track down and replace.

Also you will need to update the favourites.

Or you start with a new 28 template that already is set up for the 28 objects, and you have to redo any customisation you want for your template.

i.e. the views and layouts as well as pen sets, graphic overrides, renovation filters, etc, etc.

So as I mentioned, switching to 28 you really can't win.

I am leaning towards updating my 27 template, which I am in the process of doing now.

At least it is set up exactly as I want, and now I just have to update all objects and favourites used.
