It appears that ArchiCAD 18 is even more stringent about the Windows naming conventions than 17 was. I know this is a bad news for your QA system, but I hope by knowing this you can figure out a structure that works.
Special characters that are prohibited on Windows in file/folder names: \ / : * ? " | Question mark is not allowed on Windows so such folder cannot be uploaded to our BIM Server.
In your particular example when you set a custom folder icon on Mac, an icon file named Icon? will be created within the folder (with ls you can list that using terminal). In order to make sure we only allow filenames that work on both platforms, we needed to disable some characters. The majority of the problematic names originate from Mac computers, as OS X is much more allowing in this sense than Windows.
After a long investigation we identified that in many situations invalid file and folder names are used in libraries. We had many reports about BIM Server libraries that cannot be refreshed. Unfortunately/fortunately this is a result of an optimization that we released with the latest v17 hotfix. Would be interesting to hear if the same applies to PC AC17 hotfixes. we also do not experience this behaviour in AC15 & AC16). we use custom coloured folder icons as part of our QA system and have been doing so for the last 2 years - thus we are pretty sure this 'bug' was introduced by a reent AC17 hotfix (btw. * If, you would not like to connect the computer to the internet, because of the possible viruses, please contact the producer.So here is the solution to the mystery - if you use any custom folder icons on OSX this problem occurs, adjust your folder icons to the default and it works again. After the login, a page will appear where you can download the registration file for your ArchiCAD key.Ĭopy the downloaded registration file (ValidText.txt) in to the EPTAR Library / eptar_Tiling_Library / x_makros folder that you will find in your ArchiCAD folder. As far as you are already registered and have bought the solution, please login. Load the library and open the Objects tool, find Eptar_Tiling_library and click Download Validation Key. However if you do not own a registration file, but you have purchased the program, please follow these instructions:įor the registration, use that ArchiCAD key, to which you would like to activate the solution (the solution will be assigned to an ArchiCAD key). To activate the product have to purchase it in our webshop (support) or you must own a Registration file, which you received with the program.
Without activation Tiling runs in DEMO mode, with limited functionality.
