Any news about spanish version?

Is anyone else experiencing changes to their text formatting with the latest hotfix? All the tab locations in my text blocks have moved!

I'm also experiencing a massive slow down trying to edit text on layouts (I haven't tried elsewhere yet).

Just so folks can see what I am talking about, I have attached a quick screen shot. The upper portion of the text block has been adjusted back to the original condition. The lower portion, below the word "Keynotes" is what the update did to all my text blocks.

There appears to be a tab added to the text blocks that was not there prior to the update. Smaller instances of text within the drawings does not appear to be affected, however, I really use tabs there.

With respect to the slow down, it used (just before lunch when I updated) to be that I would double click on a block of text and be able to edit almost instantly. Now I have to try to select a block of text multiple times, I get the spinning beach ball, then if I am lucky the text block opens up, then a series of spaces are added to the text block, I can delete the added spaces and can start adding, deleting, or formatting my text.

I may have to uninstall and go back to the prior version.

No problems here so far...

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and I've downloaded the Win64 Hotfix. I'm getting an error message when I try to run it.

The error message is:
AC16-3270-HOTFIX2-WIN64.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Dear dv_chris,

it seems that for some reason the Hotfix installer detects ArchiCAD 16 as a 32-bit application.
Please check your system type and the application preferences again: in Task Manager, 32-bit processes will usually have a suffix of 32 bit, 64-bit processes will not. Is your ArchiCAD installed to folder "Program Files (x86)" by default that is created for 32-bit programs?

Please let me know if you need further help.

Hi Katalyn,
There's no doubt this is a 64 bit system. I started with Archicad 14, then followed all upgrades through 15 and now 16, and all of them have been 64 bit installations.

The only thing in the Program Files (x86)\Graphisoft folder is a GDLWebControl folder.

The Windows Task Manager lists Graphisoft ArchiCAD-64 16 without any suffix.
