Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install these packages?

You don’t – and that is exactly the point. These are ready-to use packages. Just download and unpack them, then drop them in a folder inside your Program Files or Applications folder.

Will Archicad File Converter run on Windows 7 and newer?

Yes. You can run it in “native” Windows 7 mode, we do not actually recommend running it in emulated “XP mode”. The same applies for Windows 8 and 8.1. You might get an error message concerning missing MSVCsomething.DLL files. If you encounter this please download the missing DLLs from here.
Archicad File Converter versions 9 and 10 run on Windows 10 only if QuickTime is installed otherwise the BugReporter aborts the starting process. Archicad 17 is the last version that contains QuickTime.

Will Archicad Converter Packages run on upcoming operating systems?

GRAPHISOFT cannot guarantee that older Archicad version or File Converter packages will run on upcoming operating systems. Before updating your operating system, please do consider the migration of your older files.

Will Archicad 7.0 and Archicad 9 File Converter run on Mac OS X 10.7 and newer?

No. Since the Rosetta environment is discontinued in 10.7. We advise to keep an old machine with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, or prepare a dual boot machine with 10.6 and 10.7.

Will Archicad 7.0 File Converter run on Intel Macs with Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

Yes. Mac OS X on intel machines have a built-in environment (Rosetta) to run PPC applications. (This is an optional install from the System install disk). You can not install Archicad 7.0, but this package is pre-installed, so you just need to drag-and-drop it into your Applications folder.

What version of WIBU protection key do I need to run these packages?

The file converter packages run with either the green WibuKey or the metal CodeMeter keys.

How do I open really old files if I have a CodeMeter key?

Download the Archicad 7.0 File Converter package. With this, you can open files as old as 4.1. Then, once converted to Archicad 7.0 format, you can open the file in Archicad 10.

Which Archicad version supports which Archicad files?

Archicad 19 can open files from 8.1 and above. For other versions, check out our Archicad version compatibility table: Help Center

How do I update library parts?

Mac Os High Sierra

Library parts are backward compatible without limitation, however we do recommend to update libraries older than 7.0 (including 7.0), because those old objects do not have a GUID which current Archicad versions use to identify objects. To learn more about this, read: Help Center
