Archicad 11 + Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard?

Anonymous

Does anyone know if Archicad 11 would be compatible with Snow Leopard?

Also where is the best deal on Archicad 12, and would that be compatible with Snow Leopard?

Thanks.

I would expect that it would be, but never know what little thing might mess things up. There is nothing particularly radical in Snow Leopard to expect applications to 'break'. I would also expect that GS would release a hotfix to make it Snow Leopard compatible when Snow Leopard is officially released if that is necessary.

Cheers,
Karl

PS Your best deal is your Chicagoland reseller, Rick Stalle. There's a $500 discount going in the US at the moment I believe. Also, check the 'Ads' forum to see if anyone is selling their current copy at a discount. You will have to pay a substantial license transfer fee if you buy your copy from a user.

edit: removed transfer fee amount, as GS US has increased it substantially

You can let us know. 🙂 See this longer thread on Snow Leopard:

Apparently Adobe is not guaranteeing compatibility with Creative Suite 3 apps - they're not saying it will not work, only that if there are problems, that they will not fix them. 😞

Sorry. Topics got moved/merged some more ... here is the current thread:

http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=29318

But, see this Wiki article:

AC 10, 11 and 12 will all run under Snow Leopard.

Cheers,
Karl

I installed SL 6.1 on a macbook pro core 2. AC11 runs great. Having difficulty getting AC12 & AC13 to get past crash at launch.

AC11 on Snow Leopard feels a little sluggish when saving and sending prints.

Also I noticed that font-type labelled as [WORKING] that were inherited from AutoCAD/MicroStation drawings now comes out as jibberish (ie. the illegible rectangles for each letter) instead of being replaced with a similar/suitable font that it did previously.

Anyone else noticed anything funny when running AC11 on Snow Leopard?
