Memory Settings:
Turning on Virtual Memory can boost the performance of Archicad (and

We recommend to use the system’s default virtual memory settings.
Plotter and Digitizer Drivers:
All major plotters, printers and digitizers can be driven directly from Archicad and PlotMaker, including Benson, Hewlett-Packard, Calcomp, OCE, Graphtec, Houston, EnCad, Roland, Summagraphics, Selex, Texas Instruments, Mutoh, Mimaki, Versatec, Xerox and Wacom. No additional software is required.
(*) Note: Archicad 6.0 can run on a display with a resolution of 640×480
pixels / 16 color (sometimes it has to be started in VGA Mode for
verification purposes) but some dialog boxes do not fit on the
screen, thus making the proper usage of the program
impossible.
