Archicad 20 Intelligent Cursors for a manual-How to get?

Anonymous

Hi Everybody,
Its Office Manual Update time,
and we need to show the New Features/Interface of Archicad 20

I can get almost everything else with screen shots (although they are a bit blury), but i can't get the new cursors....

Does anyone have any ideas about how to get them, or should i just ask graphisoft?

They have not been updated in the manual:

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
AllanP

I am using SnagIt on Windows, and it has a option to include the cursor in the capture.
There is also a trick you can use because normally your cursor will be over and element edge or node and so the element's geometry is interfering with the cursor geometry, which you have to erase in a photo-editing software after capture.
If you go to the Work Environment Dialog's Input Constraints and Guides page and set the Cursor Snap Range value to 9 (highest possible value), then you can position your cursor very close to a node or edge, but not overlapping it and the cursor shape will already change since it is within the Cursor Snap Range. This way you can get a clear capture of the cursor shape itself without interfering geometry in most cases.

SnagIt for Mac captures the cursors too.

Hello,

No need to screen capture on Mac;
- right-click the ArchiCAD application...
- choose "Show package content"
- find all the icons in the folder "Content -> Resources"

Icons are found here.

This is ArchiCAD 19, but 20 has the same structure.

Hope this helps / works.

I am sad to say that my office doesn't work on a mac.

I will just have to install it on my home mac and extract them.
I wish it was that easy for a PC...

Thanks for all your help,
Allan
