My library is kept in HSF format for ease of use with git, etc. In order to test my changes to the objects, I have to:
* Use LP_XMLConverter to "compile" the library part into GSM
* Use LP_XMLConverter to put my library into an LCF file
* Open Archicad
* Add my LCF in the Library Manager
* Place the object
Also, when I save new changes to the objects, I have to manually remove then re-add the library and load it again. This often presents errors and I just have to close Archicad and do the process again.
Is there a faster way to test objects? I tried copy/pasting between the editor within Archicad and my own editor, but this quickly became tedious.

Hi,
I think Masaki-san (rmasaki here on the forum) has a better solution, PM him for help.
Best, Akos

There is also a plugin for Sublime Text, you could use which would make this much easier
