Working in a Teamworked file, we have found that some library parts, specifically 2 MSA parts, appear to be perfectly well represented in ArchiCAD, but don't show up in Plotmaker.
I think the problem is related to library loading in a Teamworked environment. In our office, unchanging libraries reside on each work station, and the project and office libraries are on the server. Typical.
In Plotmaker, we import views from the shared .plp file. Most users are working with a draft saved to their local drive. They send and receive changes prior to importing or updating in Plotmaker.
Here's where I think things may be getting weird: Plotmaker, and I guess GSBackground, or whatever it is called, is importing and updating images from a shared file located in our server. It loads libraries along with the updates. So, what set of libraries is it loading? The only thing I can think of is that Plotmaker loads libraries identified by the last draft version to have sent and received changes. (Is there another plausible set? Does the .plp have its own, unchanging set of libs distinct from what the drafts are doing?).
If this is the case, wouldn't the Plotmaker layout, which resides on our server, gag on any libraries whose path's point to a workstation's hard drive?
Even this isn't a likely explanation for the no-show MSA parts in Plotmaker, because the last thing I do in ArchiCAD before going to update in Plotmaker is send-and-receive.
I think to troubleshoot, I should confirm that everyone in the office is indeed loading the same static libs from their hard drive.
Does anyone know what SHOULD be happening with libs in the context? It seems ambiguous to me.
