Archicad keeps crashing after Catalina upgrade - SOLVED

Anonymous
Not applicable
**Help** I upgraded to Catalina and now every time I go to edit text or add labels in the elevation view it crashes. It's now crashing anytime I edit text at all not just elevations. I looked online and found a Reddit thread with others who are having the same issue...is anyone else experiencing this and/or are there any work arounds until it gets fixed? Thanks.

**UPDATE - I NEEDED TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATES - WORKS GREAT NOW!

Hello,

Did you update your Codemeter driver ?

Why did you change your OS ?
I don't understand updating an OS without knowing what does it mean.

Have you got the latest AC updates loaded?

I did a clean install of Catalina before only installing AC23, I have very few problems with it, typically minor graphic issues. I am working in solo mode (no teamwork).

I have updated AC. How do I update the Wibu drivers?
They seem to be unto date but I can't be sure?

Ignore the previous message I found the driver on the Graphisoft website.

I have updated but still the same problem

Ok. I have updated Catalina, I have updated the Wibu drivers and I have the latest update for AC21.

It is still crashing when I use the text tool.

Can anybody help?

I am running IMac 3.2 GHz Intel i5 with Catalina 10.15.7

If it was a fix in a AC23 or 24 update, you are on the short end as that would imply a clash between AC and Catalina, which would not be resolved in AC21 as Graphisoft only supports the previous two(?) versions. Would have to get input from someone in GS regarding whether that is the case or not for this issue.
