Undocumented Feature of AC20 that I like

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello everyone.
I saw something that has not been shown in the videos of the new features of AC20 so far. Is nothing mayor but I like it and is very practical. And this is the zone names list, where you have next to the zone name field an arrow with a list of names to name your zone. I think is a very nice and useful feature, but I have not found how to edit that list to add and erase names, Does anybody knows how to edit this list?

Yes, Help Tags in AC20 are now more specific in both the Quick Options Palette and the Quick Options Bar.

Laszlo:

Can you be more specific with your instructions?

"Add new value as needed, modify values as needed and make sure that you change the value 43 to the highest value defined.

Since this macro is part of the ARCHICAD Library 20.lcf file, you would have to extract the LCF, modify the macro, then recreate the LCF. "

It might be over my head, but I'd like to eliminate the Zone>Name pop-out list or at least replace it with zone names I frequently use.

Thank you

I am sorry to say, but if you don't understand these two lines then I would probably have to type for half an hour to explain all that to you:
How to modify scripts, the structure and creation of GDL arrays, how to modify GDL arrays, how to extract and LCF, the relationship of a library and an LCF file, how to create an LCF.
Sorry, I just don't have that much time on my hands right now.
