AC15 - Library Preview PDF

Stress Co_
Advisor
This should be an easy wish to fulfill.. if anyone at GS is listening.

Give us a PDF of the Library Preview to place in the Documentation folder.

I know there are some new objects... but manually opening every folder to find them is soo gauche (my daughter's new word for the day).

(You did it back in AC11 & 12)

Is this what you are looking for?

It is also in the ArchiCAD Help

No.... a PDF of the entire library.
Makes SEARCHING for objects (you don't know the name of) a bit easier.

I stumbled onto an acceptable alternative.

If you use "Find library parts" in the Object setting dialogue box and leave the "Keyword:" blank.....
It will show previews of every object in the libraries folder (when you have "All libraries" selected in the "Search in:" field).

Essential!
I remember a long time ago (before pdf was born) there were booklets with all the library parts, distributed with the AC installation.

This function is lost with AC16
.... so Graphisoft, can we have the PDF again?
