krysmark - the error about not found 'Cadimage Macros' is caused by the Master_GDL script in any of the Cadimage Libraries. This means that you are loading at least one of the Cadimage Libraries somewhere.

If you are actually using the tool/s, then you will also need to be loading the 'Cadimage Macros' library, as this is required by all of the tools.

If you aren't actually using the tool/s, then you don't need them loaded in the library manager, so simply removing them from your loaded libraries will correct the problem.

If you're just using a PLA file from someone else who used the tools, but you yourself aren't, then you can either:
-install the trial version of the same tool on your computer
-or remove the Cadimage Parts from the PLA file

I assume that you are using ArchiCAD 12 or earlier, as these problems with portability were fixed in version 13.

Also, this:
But CadImage anti-shareware strategy is not allowing to copy anything to Archive format
is not the case. The reason that the tools have problems with PLA files, is because when you choose the option to 'save all library parts' in the PLA save dialog, this only applies directly to the objects used, but will not save out any other library parts(in this case, macros) that they depend on.

This affects more than just the Cadimage Libraries, but it is with them that it is most evident.
