Hi Rich,

Under default settings your license is released back to the Cloud when you close Stardraw Design 7.3 so it can be instantly taken on a different machine; you just need to be sure not to leave Stardraw running.

FYI The setting is found in Tools | Personalization | Settings - "Release License on Close" should be checked and you won't need to change this to get the behavior you want.

Ha ha, just read that in the app home page.  Thanks again!

Hi Rich,

Thank you for your purchase and for bringing this to our attention.

The block schematic symbols for the Black Magic Design Camera Fiber Converter and Studio Fiber Converter have now been updated.  The new symbols will be available the next time you run SD7 and synchronization completes.
Please email symbols@stardraw.com with any symbol-related issues.
I hope this is helpful.

Thanks again
Kevin Harrison

Amazing!  Thank you!

Another question, can I install this on my desktop and laptop at the same time with one license?  Or would I have to enable and disable the license and move it around?

Just purchased Stardraw!  Gonna be fun getting into this project.

I did notice a couple minor errors with a product.  Is there an email for updating existing products?

Basically the Blackmagic Fiber Converters are a little mixed up.  The camera converter is drawn with ref in, when it only has ref out.  The studio converter is not drawn with ref at all, it has ref in and ref out.

I feel confident enough to edit the symbol, but seems like something that should be fixed anyway.

Hi Rich,

Great - I'm glad that's been useful.

Feathering looks like the way to go, thanks!

Thanks again! I’ll play with different options and see what seems best.

I’ll check out feathering now!

Hi Rich,

Again, the best way to work is the one that makes sense for you; there are very few absolute rights (or absolute wrongs) and you'll come to develop your own process as your familiarity grows.

Regarding Print Area, yes, there's a known issue working with Windows scaling >100%; this will be fixed in a future update.

Yes, you can approach things as per your attachment - temporarily switch Windows scaling to 100% to set Print Area - or you can split the system up into different drawings, it's up to you.  If the latter you might find  see the Movie "Feathers" useful, #25 at https://www.stardraw.com/sd7/movies 

Cable nodes can't be included as part of a multiple selection but it's easy to move Cable segments by dragging the center handle if you need to make adjustments later, if rubberbanding (when Cables redraw based on the movement of connected symbols) isn't giving you the results you want.

Kind regards,

Also, is there a way to include cable nodes when area selecting parts of the black schematic?  I can see times when you don't want to do that, but when you have cables drawn around neatly, and you want to move a group of devices, it would be nice to include the cable nodes in that area as well.

Not a big deal for a couple items, but would be handy to move a group of cameras or playbacks around.

Thanks!
