Exporting Key Notes from Excel

When you try to export key notes (or attach GUIDs to notes), the Visual Basic macro goes to each worksheet and selects the contents. If there is a blank row of cells (with no data in any of the columns) the selection will stop at that row. The result will be that only some of the key notes will be exported.

To ensure that all of the notes are exported, remove all blank rows from the worksheets.

Deutsche Cadimage Tools herausgegeben!

Cadimage Tools ist stolz bekanntzugeben, dass von heute an fünf der Cadimage Tools als örtliche deutschsprachige Versionen verfügbar sind.

Die folgenden ArchiCAD 12 Tools sind heute herausgegeben und sind ab sofort zum Kauf und Download erhältlich:

• 3D Profiler
• Key Notes
• Landscaping Tool
• Revision Manager
• Stair Builder

In Verbindung mit der Veröffentlichung, wurde die Cadimage Tools Webseite komplett überholt und ist nun auch als örtliche Webseite auf Deutsch vorhanden.

Das Übersetzen, Entwickeln und Instandhalten der Tools in mehrfachen Sprachen stellt das Entwicklerteam vor zusätzliche Herausforderungen. Wir sind jedoch der Auffassung, dass die Vorteile regionaler Versionen diese internen Herausforderungen bei weitem überwiegen.

Zu diesem Zeitpunkt wird unser Online Support noch auf Englisch angeboten. Wir werden allerdings die Nachfrage unserer deutschsprachigen Kunden beobachten und ständig unser Hilfsangebot überprüfen.

Wir werden mit ortsansässigen Graphisoft Partnern in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz zusammenarbeiten, um diesen grossartigen Anlass zu fördern.

German Cadimage Tools Released!

Cadimage Tools is proud to announce that from today five of the Cadimage Tools are available as localised German language versions.

The following ArchiCAD 12 Tools have all been released today available for immediate purchase and download:

• 3D Profiler
• Key Notes
• Landscaping Tool
• Revision Manager
• Stair Builder

In conjunction with this release, the Cadimage Tools website has been completely overhauled and is also available as a localised website in German.

Translating, developing and maintaining Tools in multiple languages provides additional challenges to the development team but we believe the benefits of having local versions far outweigh these internal challenges.

At this stage our Online Support is still provided in English, however, we will monitor the demand from our German speaking customers and continually review our support offering.

We will be working with local Graphisoft Partners in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to promote this great occasion.
