ArchiCAD Window File

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm trying to create a custom library part following a tutorial. The tutorial says ....Pull down the File menu and choose "Save As…". Change the "Files of type:" to ArchiCAD Window File (*.win).....
I don't see an extension of this type in my Save As Type pull down.
How to proceed?

Thanks,

Jason

You are using a tutorial based on and older version of ArchiCAD (probably 7) and things are different in 8.x.

The procedure is now: File > GDL Objects > Save ____ as (where ____ may be "project", "selection", etc. depending on which window you are in and whether something is selected or not).

The .win file type is no longer used. Library parts are now internally categorized by subtype. This is set by the Select Subtype... button it the main library part editing dialog.
