AC freezes at the same point during startup when I try opening certain particular projects. This may have started since updating to macOS 26.5.1. In the mac finder, it shows a filename.pln.lck item, so it thinks the file is already open, but it lets me continue as exclusive ...

Since the last update my keyboard shortcut for switching to the previous view--say back to a detail from plan or 3D--doesn't work. It just toggles successively through all the open windows. I'd fix it but I can't find the command listed in Keyboard Shortcuts. Anyone know wha...

I skipped AC27 and just installed AC28. I'm in Menus in the Work Environment adding new features. Keynotes was there, but the Design Options menu item is not showing up. Any idea why not? Also, it's nice being able to choose "all new commands in alphabetical order", but they...

My label tool hasn't been working for the last couple of projects. Hypertext used to show the ID of whatever object I clicked it on, weather plan, elevation, etc. Any idea why it doesn't seem to recognize the object? Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon Ventura 13.5.2

Any idea why the 'missing object' dot is appearing on this door? The door object it refers to seems fine. Thanks

Thanks Davor and Barry. The files to repair weren't showing up in the window on opening AC, as corrupted files usually have. But I did the Open > 'Open & Repair' option and that worked after one or two tries. Whew!

Thanks Laszlo, that's exactly right, and I used to be able to do it. But I think it stopped working with command-~ because of a macOS change, not a fault of AC, so I'm guessing it's not something that Graphisoft can change back.

I believe the problem turns out to have been an operating system upgrade. All my other apps toggles back and forth between your current window and the last one you looked at with command-~. But for some reason in AC you toggle sequentially through all your dozen or so open w...

Hi David, How do you get the sides of the curved window to be perpendicular to the walls? When I try it they wind up parallel to each other no matter how I adjust the reveal, see attached. Geof

Right idea, but no luck, thanks Cosmin. I've searched commands with "go" "back" "toggle" etc but can't find it. How do other people do this: if you're in any window—plan, section, layout, detail, schedule, etc—how to you get back to the previous window you were just in? For ...
