Spell check and dictionaries

Spellcheck functionality in ArchiCAD is VERY old, requires MS Word, and doesn't really work - it needs a big overhaul!

 

  • MS Word not required for ArchiCAD's spellcheck to function
  • Wavy underlines while typing, with on-the-fly correction
  • Wider checking areas, including Layout Titles, Project Info etc
  • Centrally managed dictionaries which can include abbreviations, brand names, technical terminology etc
  • User custom dictionary which is easily edited and transferrable
  • Defaults local language (or set in Work Environment)
  • Potential add-on connection to Grammarly or the like

Great thoughts here. Can we also add...

  • Speed up check process. Ours typically takes ~15 minutes.
  • Ability for spell check to continue in background (when Archicad is not the "active" app or the one in front)
