AC9 File info

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

A newbie here with a question. I have a computer with AC9 and winXP that I used at my old employer. I now have it at home and when I click on the .pln file in explorer, in the details part it shows a logo of my old employer. Any idea how I can get rid of that logo associated with my .pln files or better yet how I can replace it with my logo?

Hard to remember that far back but this logo is probably the project preview image.
I attach the path to the command in Archi12

Man, I didn't even know this option existed. Thanks Dwight!

Does anyone have suggestions on how to make good use of it?

You might want to make a perspective view of the project as a quick identity method....

This is what I always do when archiving the project.

Hmm... Something for me to think about. I don't deal with as many projects as some of you guys - being a one-man-office - but maybe 15 years down I'll be thankful for having done it.

Several versions back (AC6 or 7?) AC made such a preview automatically, usually showing the plan view. Then came the option to place whatever picture you like and it became manual. I usually place pictures from the final renderings. There is also the good practice to place a picture with the AC's version number, as suggested by someone here in the forum.

It would be nice if the floor plan was the automatic default preview and one could change it manually if one wanted. Maybe the coding would get to complex or maybe not. What ho, GS?

Ah! Tubelight me.

Thought it might be the sequel to a (historically inaccurate) Hollywood film about Greeks and Persians. 😉
