Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Archicad?

[Anonymous]

Can anyone from G_soft say anything assuring about AC11 working under the about-to-be-released Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard?

Thomas,

I read it in macdailynews comments but now going back it refers to Epson rips, oops.

Disregard or take with a grain of salt

Don't worry. The internet is the worst gossip source in history. Still it might be true

ok - so next question: if you launch archicad from space and then decide you need it in another, will any additional archicad window that you open occur in the original space, or the new space?

Hmmm... Good question. I know if you've already launched two ACs in the same space, you need to move them window by window in the new space. I would bet if you were working on ArchiCAD #1 in space #1 and ArchiCAD #2 in space #2, they would open in the applicable space.

Just guessing, haven't tried it out yet. I've kind of disabled spaces and will only use it if I have a LOT of windows that need managing, etc.

thanks for the guess anyway. i have this growing feeling that new software is being targeted more and more at the scatty masses and organisationally challenged. if you put a little bit of thought - just a little bit - into what you're doing and make a little bit of an effort to learn, there is no need for some of these eye-candy features. instead, the masses get scattier and the organisationally challenged build a bigger and bigger chaotic mess.

it started with spotlight . . . where will it end?

I continuously get a broken glass screen after going back and forth between floor plan and 3d mode. Leopard has been working fine until this conflict with AC11, is this a graphics card issue?

I get the same thing after the machine has been going a while. It appears, from what I've been able to find out, to be a problem with the ATI video card/driver and overheating. I get it in other apps as well. I've heard of some people fixing wonky ATI cards in their MacPros by dusting them off, but I'd rather not open up my laptop if I can avoid it.

In what I guess may be a related issue. Windows based video on demand services don't work with the MacBook Pro either. With Netflix and Vongo (samples) I get a sort of solarized, negative video.

In spaces to move over all of the windows in archicad, section, plan, hold down the shift key. This will move over all of the windows in the archidad in front but not the windows in the 2nd archicad open.

Interesting, because I spent about half an hour on the phone with an Apple technician trying to troubleshoot the problem and I only experience the "broken glass" in archicad and never used to face this problem with Tiger, MacOSX 10.4

It is new in Leopard and is specifically to do with the ATI video card heating up as I understand it. It did recur for me after I installed the first update but it hasn't happened again since the weather cooled off a few days ago.

I get the broken glass view mostly when I use profiled walls. Closing, then reopening the the 3D window fixes it... for that time.
