Am I doing something wrong? I needed a new LED moving light (SL180 wash). I duplicated a Mac Aura, modified the name, wattage, beam size and weight of the duplicated instrument and then replaced the Auras with the new instrument. No other attributes were changed. Now there is no beam image for the n...

Select Sunstrip into a drawing. Placed it on a low lighting position, turned on the beams and then try to set a focus height of 20' - locked up the app. Re-open the app and the focus is still set at 20', try to give intensity to the fixture and the app crashes. Maybe I'll just use a zip strip instead!

OK, thanks. I guess I must have missed that in some update or other. Do you publish a "what's new" with the updates?

LxPro version 4.5. Beam colour, or color if you prefer, seems to have disappeared. Might even have been lost a few iterations ago. Can't seem to find any preference pane to turn it on and off.

Admin, congratulations on your soundly ethical stance regarding intellectual property theft expressed in the first sentence of your last post. We are proud of you and of the unique software you create.

Is there some way to maintain instrument focus points if the drawing is shifted and a new point of origin set? I recently had to shift a drawing around on a page after I had carefully focused the whole rig, only to discover that the instrument centers were now out by a massive amount, they appear to...

OK Thanks. Might have been something else and not to do with LxBeams. Tried both ways today and app is stable with no crashes. Yesterday it also crashed when I used the minus zoom button but curiously not when I used the zoom function in the view menu. Next time I will do a full restart before jumpi...

I also notice that something seems to have happened to the par can beam display. The beam and field displays have slipped out of alignment, at short angular throw images the beam display is totally outside the field display.

I am having some crash issues with 4.2.3 - build 10412.1 When I try to paste or import a vectorworks plan to a new drawing I get an error that my system has run out of memory. Importing a jpeg is OK as a work around but the method I have used in the past - a simple copy and paste from the CAD plan n...

Another question - how and where can I get trim heights to appear in a report.

Thanks that works now. However I have another issue about re-loading a key where the inventory drops back to zero. For example I have a drawing with a range of fixed beam source 4s with the inventory numbers entered. I need to swap out some SL zooms for source 4 zooms and so loaded the etc key and s...

How do I get metric weights to stick? If I need to load a library key to pick a new instrument for a drawing I find, for example, that all the ETC S4s that I have converted to metric weights shift back to their pound weights. Also how can I get the reports to collate the total instrument weight for ...

Trying to print a section view. When the print dialog box opens whenever I try to mail pdf or print or cancel all the options from the print dialog box disappear and all functions disappear so I have to force quit the app as even the quit menu is not available. Does this mean it is not possible to p...

The Par Lamp key has disappeared from the current version (3.9.10). Can i resurrect it from somewhere?

I seem to be able to copy and paste from Vectorworks to LxBeams with no problems - does this make the file inherently bigger or does it have the same operational function as "import"?
