NCS Drawing Title - AC29 Transition - Legacy Parts & Saving Favorites

EH21 — Fri, 15 May 2026 15:43:26 GMT

I have been working through a transition from AC27 to AC29 for my project template. One issue I can't sort out is the NCS drawing title missing. Since the new global library doesn't have an NCS title, I added the Archicad Legacy Objects library that came with AC28. I successfully got the NCS title to work on a drawing and defined it as a favorite. I double-checked favorite transfer settings as well, and all seems to be in order.

I have about 50+ pre-made layouts with drawings dropped in. They are previously made with the NCS Drawing Title 27, and even after applying the favorite, it does not change. Any tips so that I don't have to go back and completely reinsert each drawing?

Also - Why is there no NCS drawing title in the newest Archicad?

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon 14 Sonoma

So, you defined Drawing Favorites, then selected a Drawing placed on a Layout, applied the saved Favorite to it, and the Drawing Title object of the Drawing did not update? With nothing selected, if you go to the Drawing default settings, do you see "NCS Drawing Title" in the "Title" panel of the Dialog? What if you select the Drawing, change the Title to "No Title" and then change it to "NCS Drawing Title"?

(A few screenshots would help.)

The NCS titles are included but you need AC29 library update 1 or later. Also the name of the title changed its now called "NCS Drawing Title 1 USA"
