Cross Platform Mounting Features

[Anonymous]

How do i disable Cross Platform Mounting Features within the archicad program. I've been told that doing this will resolve the issue i am having when opening files created on a PC, on a Mac.

thanks.

Subsequent to my post here I found another way to do the same thing but using an app with a GUI rather than having to use unix commands in terminal.

Download this app called Pref Setter here...

Pref Setter Download

Download the Pref files I posted.

1
Start Pref Setter

2
Open one of the Pref files I posted. I would start with the one for ArchiCAD. And open the corresponding plist file in your Preference folder in your Home Library folder.

3
Expand the InputOutput entry and select the DisableCrossPlatformMountingFeatures and copy it to the clipboard



4
Click the tab to display your plist file and look for the InputOutput entry and expand it.

5
Select the FileCacheSize entry and right click it and select Add New Key see screenshot below.



6
Replace the text New Key by selecting it and pasting the clipboard contents DisableCrossPlatformMountingFeatures

7
Next change the entry String to Boolean



8
then double click false and it will change to true.

9
Save and quit Pref Setter startup ArchiCAD and it should be working.

Repeat for PlotMaker.

. . . or if you have apple's developer tools installed, 'Property List Editor' does the same thing . . .
