Another day, another reminder that there seems to be a deep structural limitation in AC regarding polygon handling. The advice in this advertisement has been standard for as long as I have used the program, despite computers becoming 100s of times mo...

Some Archicad labels, such as Composite or Profile Name 27, have a bad behavior where the label can’t be placed to the left of the element. Many other labels, such as Generic Label 27, can be placed properly in any quadrant. I have several symbol lab...

Peter, would it possible to share a list of the planned changes? So much to do besides syntax highlighting 
