plotmaker inside AC or separated

[Anonymous]

I know it is an old debate but searching for "Plotmaker inside Archicad" or plotmaker standalone" I found nothing in the wish subject.
I just went to a Re*it demonstration (another debate, but how fast it is to publish inside Re*it)
I think the answer is: both.
Inside AC for 99% of the projects and standalone for special cases.
I am convinced Plotmaker should work inside AC especially since we have the navigator. Most of the things have to be settled inside the view editor and most of our prints come from a single AC file (plans, sections, elevations, details, what else in most of our work?).
This way, I expect the prints to be refreshed with the editor redefine button and generally speaking to cut the incredible slowness of Plotmaker update.
And for special case with layout of mixed files, why not a standalone PM?

Of course, we stuff a wood "lead" inside the carbon, so the lead never breaks
Il you like, I can privately mail you a full explanation in French .

Beside that, those who agree with some PM improvement, I made a more modest wish (Djordje killed this one), vote for an attribute manager inside PM

Adalbert, it seems to me that your office is probably on 1019 Gloomfield Avenue Suite 2A.

Having a couple o hours to waste, waiting for a * * HVAC engineer, I exceptionally spent some time nosing about other people's messages. I know I should rather exercise my GDL, but c'est la vie.
I was basically intrigued by mister AA last messages tone. So I DID IT. Yes, I clicked "find all posts by Adalbert Albu"
Whaaaa!
Then, the truth illuminated me.
AA is a bait! A ghost Hungarian (of course) immigrant created by GS to keep AC DEFENDERS AWAKE!
Nice piece of Machiavelli's art! Well done GS!

You were present at the old Talk, weren't you?

Read Foucault's Pendulum again ... no, NOT the Da Vinci Code!

Nope. I am a not – so – active user of this forum, I didn't even know there was an old one.
So it's not a joke?
God bless America to welcome, as usual, all kind of desperate people from all around the world!
I have to admit that my fundamentally nasty spirit even thought of about secret transactions which would explain why Budapest accepted of send a strong company of 8 soldiers you know where. But it is absolutely politically incorrect, not funny, lack of respect and lowers the level of this forum at a level never reached before. Shame on me.
In order to you guys to absolve me, I promise that next time I'll be stick and bored, I will not click the dangerous "find all posts by AA".
Instead, my next topic will carry one something like "how to optimize a triple imbricate loop inside a GDL subroutine script"
Unfortunately, I just got what I was waiting for, so Monday will be a tough one, why not start without me?

I swore not to click the fatal link any more.
Instead, would you mind to explain to a very lazy lazy forum user how you make theses nice links to other's messages / topics?
I am even better in GDL than in Internet chat

you simply include the link inside a 'url' tag like this:

the text that you want to contain the link

read the instructions here, or hit the 'quote' button of a post that contains something you want to copy and reverse engineer the tags . . .
