I've just updated to 4.1.5 hoping this included a fix, but it didn't seem to do it. Thoughts? |

I'm thinking of reverting back to the original version of quick time next, but I thought I'd get your thoughts first. Thanks, Justin |
| BD-33 | Fixed | Beam Draw Object | The "Select Instrument Type" window when getting Light Info Data is generating unexpected results.

If I just start typing the name of a light to jump to it in the list, I can't even seem to click OK. If I click on a light first, the start typing to jump, I can click ok, but the data that actually gets acquired is the data for the light I clicked on, not the light that I jumped to by typing and was selected when I clicked ok. If I click on a light, then type to jump down the list, then use arrow keys to make a selection, I am getting inconsistent results. Sometimes it doesn't let me click ok, sometimes it take data from the last light i clicked on. |

| BD-25 | Fixed | Beam Draw Object | Hello, In Vectorworks 2014, when I convert a beam to an instrument, none of the record data in the instrument symbol is applied. It basically creates a blank light. Here is a link to a video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5637742/beam%20draw.mov |
| BD-26 | Fixed | Beam Draw Object | When using the Convert Beam to Instrument tool, I was converting multiple beams to instruments, and selected Convert to Lighting Device. Once complete there was one instrument drawn at one of the beams, and the other beams had manipulation handles but no instrument dropped. Also the instrument was not responding correctly. If I selected the drawn instrument and did a Fixed Rotate, the manipulation handles rotated but not the instrument. I retried Convert to Instrument using Convert to Symbol, and the symbols were dropped onto beams correctly. I then used Spotlight to Convert to Instrument, and the instrument behaved normally. |

Or.. if the Fixed/Dynamic option also became a part of the beam draw menu..I could edit my custom workspace to create my own keyboard shortcut. Either way...a faster way to toggle between them would definitely speed up the work flow. |

I get right up to the installation point and I get an error message "The following install step failed: run preflight script for Beam Draw 3.0 Preflight. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." I restarted the computer once as well. I am running 2008. I tried just selecting the 2008 install files but that didn't seem to make any difference. |
