AC11 SOON

[Nuge]

I have just had my local supplier inform me that AC11 will ship in approx 2 months here in NZ and will be Vista compatabile.


Bring it on i say

Well, if that is the case then I hope that Graphisoft starts releasing details of the features and upgrades of AC11 now. It is pretty frustrating to purchase an upgrade - especially with a one year upgrade cycle - and find out that one month after you install it is outdated and redundant because of yet another upgrade.

And even though the cycle is one year I will expect some dramatic improvements and better stability in the release. If they can't get their act together bug free, then I will have to look to Revit.

Not that I want to defend GS, but do you really think that Revit is bug-free, or that the improvement from version to version are really so significant?
I see it that way that every few years new version of the software should be revolutionary (like AC 10) - and between those versions - there should be few evolutionary version, that bring improvement, clear the code, UI, processes, etc., but don't turn software around. That is what I'm hoping for ACXI.

What about ArchiCAD 11 & ArchiCAD Viewer. Is that just a joke for 1 April or it is true.

Wow.

How cool.

If it is true, for once, Graphisoft might get ahead of the curve.

Sounds a bit like the "GPS Gallello-Dongle"

From a quick scan of the article it looks like AC11 will run better on the iPhone than AC10 does on a MacBookPro. I wish my German were better. I suspect the subtleties, that would be evident if I actually understood all the words, would be quite amusing.

I think we can assume that the date of the article is significant. So far the only apps that are expected to run on the iPhone are Widgets, and it isn't clear yet whether Apple is going to provide a way to install 3rd party stuff (I sure hope they do though).

The wireless WIBU link page is pretty funny, too... full GPS capabilities to report illegal usage by physical location...something about Google Earth connectivity, too.

Me too. I have actually been taking Revit training. Unfortunately, there isn't enough going on there yet for me to warrant jumping ship - yet. If there were anything better than Archicad, we would be all over it.
