Hi, it's the first time i'm writing something here so here it goes...
I'm building a portfolio and i need to open my old projects in archicad 12, the problem is that the objects from the old files (these files are from archicad 7, 8 and 9) don't appear...

Is there any way to find the old archicad libraries from version 7,8 and 9 to download???
Or is there anything else i can do to recover the objects from the old files???

Thank u so much for you're help...

Only PLA files store Library Parts.
If you have PLNs but not the Libraries, that is a problem.

There are AC 7 and AC9 file converter versions as free downloads:

But I don't know if these included the libraries or not. I have not tried them.

send me your .pln version in .rar or .zip and i'll send you the .pla file with all the libraries already loaded.
PS: send it to oz@tie.cl
