Help: how to hide toolbars

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi all. I'm looking for a way to hide Archicad toolbars. I've to develop a tool that disables all Archicad toolbars except the ones that I develop.
It is for a research project, and i want that all the users involved in this research use only tools that i developed for them and don't use standard Archicad tools. I can say them not to use standard tools, but if I can disable them is better 🙂
Thank you all

Hi,

Its easy in AC9 (and later I assume) and no programming is required. Just add a path to the "work enviroment" into the registry on each computer.

ie. (windows)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD\version\WorkEnviroment\RemoteProfileSetURL

Version should be your version of AC, should be there allready, and registry is different under mac.

data should be for example
lan.flat:///c:/somepath/defaults/archicad

and in the folder c:/somepath/defaults/archicad are the xml files you export from the workEnviroment screen where you set up your toolbars.

Do a search in the help for companyDefaults for how to setup this folder.
