Sharing labels

How can I share a label using archicad 16? When I open the object, the share option is grayed out. IT does not happen to other type of object.. just labels.

What exactly do you mean by sharing?
Giving the GSM file of the Label to someone else?

This option below "SAVE SELECTION AS"

That option will let you upload the GDL Object from within ArchiCAD to the bimcomponents.com web site. Just select the object and issue the command. You need to register first at the site because you will need to provide your bimcomponents.com registration number.

I have uploaded other objects. BimComponenets doesn't seems to let you upload LABELS. I search for labe at the Bim Components website and nothing came up.

Now that is interesting.
It does not work for me either.
I will ask around about this.

Actually, at the moment, there is something wrong with the site for me.
I cannot search and I cannot see the search results by clicking any ofthe tags in the tag cloud. It all gives me an error message.

But I can see "label" in the tag cloud so I think we should be able to upload Labels. I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to do it. They are no different from other types of GDL objects.

I was told by GS guys that is is probably a bug and they are looking into it.
