Seems like there is an easy answer, but I can't seem to find it.

there is some weird issue whereby the layers get a little screwed if you've opened layouts and master layouts in succession. it's intermittent and i never quite caught it properly during beta.

close all of your master layout windows, reset the layers for the layout environment and then update any drawings you have placed on master layouts using the drawing manager. (you may also need to 'rebuild' your layout that had the issue).

any good?

I finally got a chance to look at this and all my MASTER ITEMS were on the ARCHICAD LAYER..

Today, for some unknown reason, they are showing up on screen. Seems to have printed (at least to a PDF) fine as well..

Ugh... I don't like it when it's "hit and miss" like this.

Graphisoft-US was quick to follow up by directing me to a download (dmg). It was one of the largest downloads I've ever received requiring over an hour on high-speed internet, but it installed correctly.

Mark:

Can you post the link?

Thanks,

Don Lee

Here's the link I was given;

yep - mine too. all of my title block data is on the archicad layer of a worksheet view, and that view is placed as a drawing on the archicad layer of a layout. it still goes a little awry . . .

no. i wonder though - do you have any cadimage tools loaded? their revision manager controls layer visibility of the ' Archicad layer - master only' layer when you open a master layout. i wonder if that's somehow screwing with the visibility of the real archicad layer as well?

cheers

Hey Mark:

I had to download the file twice to get it to work, but all is well now. Thanks!

BTW, AC 12 is much faster even on my old PPC Mac. I guess the dual processor thing is not just for the Intel Macs.

Has anyone in Australia received 12 yet?

[Wokka]

Yep,
Got the box middle of last week after absolutley no information from Graphisoft Australia. I hope future clients where contacted more than current clients. Totally underwhelming marketing and product so far (but still testing the product).

[KeesW]

Yes, we got our copies on Friday.

Don't complain fellow Australian users - we still have not seen 12 in our office in Melbourne - yet!

I logged in to arkiklub to see there is nothing there for 12......I also just read a post querying the availability Google earth plug-in for 12....

Oh dear, is it a repeat of 11? The availability of add-ons and plugins must be synchronised with the release of ArchiCAD, surely??!!

Received it last Thursday.

Received it last week here in NZ too, but not installed yet. I think Cadimage are releasing their tools to us mid-september from memory.
