graphical library part catalogue (mac)

i was wondering if anyone has successfully printed a graphical library part catalogue (including name, path & preview) on a mac.

i know that graphisoft provides a library preview in the help menu which however is html based on macs, thus not easily printable completely - unless you print it page by page separately. of course you can print the preview images straight from the help folder, but they do not contain the additional data i require (path within the library folder structure).

may i suggest that graphisoft should also include a pdf version of the library preview with the installation cds.

GDL Viewer would be even better, as quite a few parts have many variations, so a static preview is not really giving it proper credit.

djorde: suppose this then makes it into the wishlist?

Add the ArchiCAD file viewer once there ...

Using the "Special Menu" you can select "Place all Objects" to put the GDL objects of a current library on a floor plan for printing. I use this for my custom libraries and find it quite useful

Just make sure you don't load the whole ArchiCAD Library!

If yes, where is it????
