![]() ![]() Eventually CCC made a way to do it, I think it probably just puts a nice GUI around that cmd line utility. There is a command line utility on MacOS you can use to do it, but its very complicated. The end result of that is that neither SuperDuper or CCC could make a truly bootable backup. However be advised that starting with Mojave, Apple introduced the APFS file system, and they also at some point in time, I can't remember when now introduced a system whereby a lot of the files they we should not mess with are stored on a hidden read only partition, etc.and some other new internal hidden partitions related to boot up and recovery, etc. I have purchased and used both pieces of software and like them both. With Mojave either one will create a bootable backup for you. They both do a lot of smart stuff about not copying over cache files, virtual memory, etc.stuff that doesn't need to be copied. With newer versions of MacOS I think you have to use some complicated command line tools to fully clone a drive, but I can't remember now.ĬCC and SuperDuper can do so called incremental updates, where it will only copy over the files that have actually changed. Its pretty simple on Mojave, but starts to get way more complicated with newer versions of MacOS. Your boot disk has the main volume that you see and then there are hidden volumes containing other stuff. It also does not by default automatically copy some of the hidden partitions that are needed to fully copy a boot drive. It always makes an exact clone and wipes the destination. Thanks again for your input on 8.1 with Leopard.Disk Utility can clone any volume, for free. I want to spend my time providing a client good design not showing them how great my CAD software is. But, unfortunately it will probably be because one version of ArchiCAD doesn't work with some version of Apple's Mac OSX (or vice versa) and not just because it saves me a little time, has a nice bell or whistle, or does something a little easier. I am competitive NOT because I'm keeping up with the latest upgrade, but because I do pretty darn good design and construction documents that both the client and the contractor like and helps them save dollars in construction.Īgain, I appreciate your position and, perhaps one of these days will upgrade again. I don't want the CAD software driving me. I don't want to be a "CAD drafter", constantly keeping up with the Jones'. I agree there are probably many features I would enjoy using, that would probably save me more time if I upgraded.īUT, this is why I first both changed over from the PC to the MAC and, at the same time from AutoCAD to ArchiCAD - I'm an Architect that utilizes CAD to help me be creative and produce good construction documents. and then some which, actually, is the reason I can not afford more the time versus the cost to upgrade. ![]() I stopped upgrading, and so did they, because I felt like I was reinventing the wheel every time - having to make sure all the library parts work and essentially changing some, if not a lot, of the ways I was working with the old version of ArchiCAD I upgraded from - just to get back to doing the same thing I was doing in the first place - designing and construction documents. Most of the Architects I know locally are still on 8.1 and 9. ![]() While I can appreciate your position on ArchiCAD upgrades, my experience is that the majority of Architects, at least in Northern California, are one and two person firms. That is, if you can't charge fully for your time, and have plenty of it.įor everyone else, I think upgrading, and actually a subscription, and learning the new features of each new version to make the most of them in your business, is a must to stay competitive! I would only understand you if you work part-time on a more-or-less hobby basis. The model > save view > place on layout > publish layout book workflow is so smooth today, compared to the raw and meager times of PMKs and Plotmaker. The productivity enhancements that GS have built into the subsequent versions since 8.1 must be worth the upgrade cost for any full-time professional business, small or big (we have just 2 licenses). Last year, I spent some time in 8.1 with a very small project addition that I didn't bother to migrate to 12. ![]() to the majority of us who praised them for the simplicity of ArchiCAD, yet its ability to the most complex projects.ĪrchiCAD is just WAY too big now, not to mention the upgrade costs that have increased significantly. I remember the users meeting in San Francisco for version 4.5 where the head of Graphisoft came and spoke. To me that is versions 4 through 8.1, perhaps 9. I sure miss the "simple days" that made ArchiCAD so great. ![]()
