.MOD vs .PLN

[JaredBanks]

Can anyone tell me the benefits or differences between hotlinking a .mod file versus a .pln file to another drawing (say a .pln or .plp file).

Right now the office i work at (7 archicad users) inconsistently switches between the 2 ways of hotlinking. I'd like to move us to using just one or the other, or understand why we might need both. Anyone in the office who might have known has left...

Thanks,

Jared

Whatever method you were talking about here:

Thanks in large part to Ignacio whom I worked with last year and who posted the method here (we both got t-shirts for it thanks to his thoughtful credit to me).

Yup, that's the one about Publishing Modules. I'll try to get it up this weekend.

Matthew,
i read in your signature you're working with a 20GB ram MacPro 8core.
Does som much ram memory really makes the difference in speed?
Maybe with huge Archicad files?
What's the difference with the 8-core CPU?

I'm working with an old MacBookPro 17" 2,4 ghz intel core 2 duo and 4GB ram... compared to your configuration it sounds really slow...

Thanks
