ooops, instead of reply I accidentaly pressed "report" on laszlonagy's comment. If, lets say, a site admin, sees this,please disregard it.
Yes, I had to disable it from the archicad.exe file

Anyway, I am not going to try.

OK, so the solution was that you had to disable the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox in the Properties of the ArchiCAD.exe file.
My theory about this is that when drag-and-dropping files into the ArchiCAD Window, if you have this checkbox checked, the system does not let you do it unless you prove you are an admin, but there is no Dialog that pops up where you can do that so the system does not allow the operation. When it is not checked the drag-and-drop works normally.

You have replied to a 7 year old post, so don't expect the original posters to respond.
Reading the later posts, yes you have to turn off 'Run as Admin' for the Archicad.exe file.

Hello, yes! I know it was an old post, but I figured it was my way to solve it, and no, running as administrator did not resolve the issue, meanwhile I'm using the drawing tool dialog to do this task, which is time consuming.

The post says to 'Disable Run as Administrator'.
