Did you know that you can force the Visualizer to stay on top? Don't know if it will help any, but if you want to give it a try, in the Vis go to FILE > OPTIONS > COM/REF tab > and at the bottom check FORCE SIMULATION WINDOW TO FRONT.

Why don't i have this option? Is it not in the Standard version?

[LOR Staff]

What version of the software are you using? That option was added in V 3.4 and above for all license levels.

i'm running 3.2 maybe that's the problem.

[MCas4380]

So is it worth the upgrade from 3.2 to 3.7

[MCas4380]

seems like mostly Super Star up grades is that correct?

[LOR Staff]

If you get it for free (check your license), then without question update.

If you have to pay, only you can make that choice.

[MCas4380]

well i'm currently running 3.2 Standard will the Advance license with out super star allow me to use RGB Dumb strips in the future? i do have to pay for the upgrade. is the Advance vs Standard a good choice?

Never mind i decided to upgrade my licence to Advance. should be all good now. I also just realized that this is not the place for this conversation. so feel free to remove my post.

It will.

If you want to upgrade to advanced that comes with a complimentary License Renewal. From Standard to Advanced is $40.

Frankly for the extra $10 it is the MUCH better deal than.....

If you want to stay with Standard, you don't need to purchase an upgrade. Instead, purchase a renewal for $30

Trust me. Bite the bullet and spend the extra $10.

[MCas4380]

thanks i did.

[MCas4380]

Now i have something new to play with any pointers?

[Onewish1]

Hop that helps

[Onewish1]

ooohhh thank you.. I did not see that !!!

[Robert Burton]

Ok,

So I have gone to Visualizer and click "Simulation Mode". I then click "Play" from the editor...and it pops up great. However you have to fumble to "Stop" the visualizer first then go back to editor to stop it....if your trying to grab a very quick snippet. The way around that is to make your image in visualizer half the size of your screen when you do click on simulation mode. Then make your editor the other half of the screen...then you can go back and forth quickly. If your using a larger monitor...congrats...you can now go back and forth. However if your using say...a laptop. Then just put on your glasses and get closer to the screen :-( Works, just wish I had a larger screen to edit to.

Can't wait for that Start / Stop button in visualizer ;-)
