Undocumented Improvements in AC15

Here is the beginning of a list of 'minor' fixes in AC15 that I was personally involved in. I hope that others may be able to add other undocumented improvements to it:

1. Mirroring text now mirrors the anchor point.
2. The Help menu search function is no longer case sensitive.
3. Fill Area Text's are transferable via the eyedropper/syringe.
4. Project North now accepts up to 4 decimals (when set in working units).
5. Right click on Layouts and Masters to edit their settings.
6. Module Save Options have a new display setting.
...

Cheers,
Link.

I think the Work Environment is available over in the Depository area of the forum. It's only for AC 14 as we still have to do various updates to our Server to get it up to speed to run AC 15

There you go...

Only thing to note is that the Trace Ref pallette is invoked by using the keyboard shortcut to bring it in front of the Favourites pallette

Project Preview for files (PLN) and library parts is working in Finder (!) 🙂,
and not only for v. 15...
Rafal, can you please describe the process for obtaining this (Preview in Finder). For PLN files I have saved out a 3D Window image of the building then dragged that JPG into the File>Info>Project Preview window, which appears to work with the exception that the image becomes grey scale only. Is this the process you use and if so, how do you get color? Thanks, Scott

Hi all,

My team member asked me what's differences between Worksheet & Detail. And my answer is in the "Help" (Worksheet can capture annotation, Detail can't, etc..).
But when I give example on AC 15, I realized that now Detail Tool can capture annotation too (in AUS version) (what saying in AC15 Help is still the same as before). So I guess that is a Undocumented Improvement ???.
(or bug?, I don't know)

My question is: How to find out ALL OF undocumented improvement ?
Until now I base on :
-this thread
-archicadwiki.com/ArchiCAD15ChangesGuide
-new commands (marked in blue) in Keyboard Shortcut

and IS THAT ALL ? or we have to wait until other new things reported from AC users? Is it better if they're completely introduced somewhere by GS?

I don't know if it is AC 15 or MacOS 10.7 but I'm seeing greatly reduced PDF sizes. A small project is now emailable.
