ArchiCAD 17 Explode into current view not working?

Anonymous

Hi everyone,

I am working for a small firm, and we are using ArchiCAD 17 (64bit).

I was trying to explode the PDFs into line works, and I am sure that the PDF is not image file.

However, after I used the command, nothing happens.

Can anyone help?

Thank you so much.

That is because version 17 can't explode PDF files.
That feature came in at a later version (not sure exactly which one).

I just tried to make sure.
I couldn't explode a PDF in 17 but was not a problem with the same PDF in version 20.

Thank you so much.

Seems it is time to persuade my director to give us an upgrade.
