Unfortunately, some of us realise the value of our parents' words only after we really grow up.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand
to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at
how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

I have right to write my opinion and i didn't wrote nothing bad and insulting...just truth from my side of view.

Where do you get the idea that I don't like you? I have never met you.
What I do not like is when someone is constantly being negative. And when someone always feels like he needs to draw attention to what is wrong with something, not what is right, never acknowledging improvements, always criticizing. See, my problem is not with negativity or criticism. It is with constant negativity or criticism. I have been reading every single post since 2009 when I became moderator. So I know who wrote what in the last 7+ years.
And have you ever considered that you have repeated your negative comments so many times in the last several years that this in itself is kind of spamming: you know, repeating the same thing (ARCHICAD is bad, ARCHICAD is bad, because of this, this, this...) over and over again.
Just something to consider for the future.

Tomorrow is the 31st of may so definitively not tomorrow (unless you are in Aus or NZ).

You may be able to download it some time in June but you probably won't be able to upgrade your license until later so you will be stuck in demo mode.

An e-mail yesterday said we can expect it to start shipping July 25th here in Aus so you may have a little longer to wait.

another questions about v20:

1. Can we insert element properties into label?
2. Can we insert element properties to room stamp?
3. Can we label rooms by custom label?

1. Can we insert element properties into label?

If you mean that are Element Properties available for Label elements, then the answer is no. Element Properties are available only for construction type elements, but not for 2D drawing or annotation type elements.
The availability of Properties is based on Element Classification available in IFC, which are all 3D element types.

2. Can we insert element properties to room stamp?

You can create Element Properties which can be made available for Zones (which are classified as Spaces). But not for Zone Stamps, which are a sub-element of Zones.

3. Can we label rooms by custom label?

No, because Zones cannot be Labelled. This function is provided by the Zone Stamp.

Thanks Laszlo,
I was misunderstandable, sorry:

1. I meant that Element Property value and/or name of construction element can be displayed in label. Element Properties can be requested in GDL? Is there a same way as IFC parameters can be display in Tag and Category label.

2. I meant that Element Property value and/or name of Zone can be displayed in Zone stamp.

[Eduardo Rolon]

1. Yes
2. If I understand correctly, Zone can only display Parameters assigned to the Zone not to elements within the Zone

Yes for both questions.
1. The Tags and Categories Label is renamed Categories and Properties Label and it will be able to display any Element Property assigned to the labelled element.
2. The "Zone Stamp 02 20" Zone Stamp was updated for ARCHICAD 20 so in the Additional Tags group of parameters you will be able to display any Element Property assigned to the Zone.
