Creating a Custom Style e-mail for Publisher

 

In setting up your custom e-mail style for publishing with ArchiCAD, you will need to first create the logo you want to use into a gif file. Most graphic programs support the gif file format so open your logo up and save as a gif file. In our example we will use the CADeshack logo to set up our CADeshack Style.

 

 

Copy the “Plain with Banner Style” folder into a “New Folder” (which you can name your own style” to make the necessary changes to create your custom style. We used CADeshack for our example.

 

 

 

Inside the “Reviewer” folder you will select the “Images” folder and change out your own logo .gif file replacing the existing “logo.gif” file.

 

 

 

Now you need to set up the custom text for your e-mail style header. Navigating back up to the “Reviewer” folder you will need select the “Banner.htm” file and double click on the file to open it up in your web browser.  

 

 

Some web browsers will allow you to replace the text directly by selecting the text and retyping the new text. If your web browser does not support this then right click on the body of this file window and select “View Source”. This will open up the text notepad and then you will replace the text where indicated and between the > < symbols. When complete select “File” and then “Save” as you have now edited the html file with your custom text.

You have now created your custom e-mail style to use with ArchiCAD’s Publisher feature and you can set your new style from the options button under “View Set Publishing Properties” in the Publisher window
