AC 24 Solo - No Hotlink Option

Noji
Participant

I am trying to use the hotlink feature to attach a pln file to an existing file. When I go to 'External Content' to open the 'Place Hotlink', I do not have the option. I've also checked if I could add it to my work environment but no luck. I also cannot save the hotlinks as .mod incase that is a linked issue.

Hi Noji,

 

As a former Archicad Solo user, I can confirm that Hotlink modules aren't possible in Solo. There are a few other features that aren't available. See below.

 

Limitations of Archicad Solo compared to Archicad include:

Teamwork : No Teamwork / Model-Based Instant Messaging / BIM Server / BIM Server Manager / Travel Pack / BIMProject Backup

Collaboration : No Hotlinked Modules / XRefs / STL Export / IFC PublishingVisualization : No CineRender Rendering Engine / Cinerender Surface Materials / Additional Surface Materials Catalog / Cinerender Surface Settings Editor

Project Organization : No License Borrowing / NET License
