Mac to PC (library parts)

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi everyone
for the past 10 years or so we have worked with Archicad under
Mac OS environment.We recently switched to Archicad 8.1
under W2000Pro and it unveiled a big problem in regard
of the 200 drawings made under Mac OS; the library parts....
In fact the library parts under Mac were named for example
"Window/3d/100.gsm" and our PCs cannot handle the spelling and
change it into "Window_3d_100.gsm" which means that all our
library parts are missing !!!!
So far the only way to deal with that has been to change every
library part by its "equivalent" (1 day 1/2 for a building !!!)
Is there any other way to go through it ?
Thank you for your help 😉
