Using the 11 migration library in 12

Anonymous

I am having difficulty with a variety of ArchiCAD 11 libraries of doors, windows and curtain walls showing up in 12 after I have installed the "ArchiCAD 11 Migration Library". I have tried nesting it and un-nesting it in the ArchiCAD 12 library folder several ways, but with no success.

i am sure there must be several dialogs on this one, but i am not finding them.

See my snapshot with I how I last them.

Any help would be nice. I need to fix several workstations so we can all work.

The problem is what it is. Despite referencing the same libraries. The migration 11 libraries will not come through as they should in a host file. So I do not know what to do. I think this is a bug.

Zsolt,
I have been having to spend a lot of time reloading libraries in module files when I choose edit this module in a separate archicad file. Can this be changed?
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Would you ArchiCAD to store the loaded-library info in MOD files?

Sorry, I don't use hotlinks much - that's where the insecurity comes from.

I still don't see the situation totally clear. Please report this problem to GS technical support with some example plan files. Based on that, they will tell you whether it can be fixed in ArchiCAD or in your files.

Thanks,

Yes, that is it. When you open a mod file by right-clicking and choose 'edit this module in separate archicad file', all the loaded libraries should [ideally] be loaded.
