Known Issues
1. Users whose computers contain certain ATI video cards have reported seeing artifacts in the
wysiwyg Shaded View.
This problem is linked to Radeon x1300–x1950 video cards, although other cards may also cause
this issue. As a workaround, update your video drivers. If this does not fix the issue, deactivate
Smoke in the View Options window of the Shaded View. If you still cannot resolve the issue,
please contact CAST Software Technical Support.
2. The Add/Remove Accessory menu is not available when you select a fixture that is attached
to a moving hang structure.
When you hang a fixture on a pipe or truss that is attached to a movement axis, and then you
right-click on the fixture to add an accessory to it, the Add/Remove Accessory menu item does
not appear.
Workaround: You can add accessories to the fixture by using its Properties page, and remove
accessories by using DATA mode. Alternately, you can temporarily detach the hang structure
from the movement axis, add/remove the accessories, and then reattach the hang structure to
the axis.
3. You cannot perform a second Merge operation on a merged item that has been mirrored.
After mirroring an object that was originally created through a merge operation, you cannot
reliably perform another merge procedure on this object.
Workaround: It is recommended that you perform all Merge operations on these objects before
you mirror them.
4. Single-sided surfaces that have Light Emission enabled "glow" on both sides when rendered.
When you assign light emission to a single-sided surface, and then render it with Radiosity turned
on, the surface appears to glow on both sides.
Workaround: When using a light-emitting surface, create a second surface (with no light
emission) of the same size and place it just behind the light-emitting surface, 1 or 2 millimeters
away. This will mask the second light-emitting side in your rendering.
5. When you hang automated fixtures on moving hang structures, they do not focus properly.
When you hang an automated fixture on a moving hang structure (for example, a pipe or truss
that is attached to a linear or rotational motion axis), and then you move the hang structure, the
fixture's beam is not redirected to its original Focus Position. Instead, it maintains the same pan
and tilt angle, thereby missing the focus position and hitting a different location in your drawing.
Workaround: When working with automated fixtures on moving hang structures, do not use focus
positions. Instead, focus the beams manually.
