Release Notes


Archicad 11 Hotfix for Commercial, Educational and Trial license types (Build 1259)

This Hotfix includes important fixes for bugs discovered since the original release of Archicad 11 (Build 970/975). This Hotfix can be applied to any builds of Archicad 11 (Build 970 and above).

Important install notes:

  • The patch updates all add-ons shipped by Graphisoft, including installed goodie tools. Installer identifies add- ons by name, so in case there is a third-party add-on installed that has the same name as a Graphisoft add-on, the patch installer will fail to update Archicad. Please remove any such third party add-on before installing patch.
  • Important to ALL TeamWork Users – All teammates should sign out of the project and exit AC before applying the patch. All teammates should then upgrade to the same build number before signing back into the project. Problems could arise if this care is not taken.

Install steps:

  1. Download the Hotfix by clicking on the file name on the previous page.
  2. Exit Archicad before you start the installer.
  3. Make sure that you have administrator rights on your computer.
  4. Make sure that components of your Archicad installation were not renamed. The Hotfix will not reinstall missing components and will ignore components that are renamed.
  5. If Archicad was installed while connected to a network, make sure you are connected to the same network. This is especially important for laptops.
  6. Double-click on the downloaded file to start the installer. To run the installer, Java version 6 has to be installed on your computer. You can install Java version 6 from your original Archicad install CD.
  7. Follow the instructions of the wizard to complete the installation.
