AC 10 USA vs AC 10 INT

Hello,
Is there some way I can find out the differences between
AC 10 USA and AC 10 INT ?
I know that the libraries are different but I did not know
the applications are also different.
I was working on a library part made with the international version
and noticed that obligatory parameter called "ac_wallcontours"
had only two settings, 0 and 1 while the same part made
in the USA version "ac_wallcontours" has four settings, 0,1,2, and 3.
I also noticed that the the number of pen colors was only 142
while the USA version has 256.
Understand that I had opened the library part in the USA version.

I wonder if there is list of differences that I could get ahold of

Thank you
Peter Devlin

The only difference that cannot be set by any preferences is that the default first floor in USA version i 1.Story and in INT ver. it is 0.Story.

The atributes and objects can be overriden by loading either version startup file and loading the library that belongs to that version.

Best Regards,

Hello Piotr,
Thank you for posting back.
You refer to something in your post called a "startup file".
What is that and where is kept ?
Thank you,

I don't know about a specific list, but there are many differences. Mostly to do with defaults. Stories, is just one of them, but just about everything in the Attribute Manager has some difference. That's why it's a nightmare to create a US template on an INT version or vice versa.

And of course the libraries.

Oh and the layout sizes and master layout content is different.

I don't think there is too many differences in the core functionality, bar a few add-ons.

I can shoot you a New & Reset INT pln if you like. Just email me or PM me with your address.

Cheers,

Hello Link,
I hoped you would post back.
I knew you would know allot about this since you
consult all over the world.
I would very much like to see a new and reset INT pln.
Thank you.
My e-mail address is in my signature.

Without the INT application, I will not be able to find differences
in the templates for different GDL subtypes or add-on templates.
It does surprise me that the INT version has fewer pen colors,
fewer line types, but apparently most or all of the fills.
Thanks,
Peter Devlin
