FSL 2.41 Read Me

Loading the FSL toolbar after install

Don’t forget to type “fsl” (without quotes) into the command line of AutoCAD or choose Tools -> Toolboxes -> SteelcaseFSL in MicroStation to load the FSL toolbar / menu.

New Features in 2.41

1. Fixed an AutoCAD 2012 (32-bit) crash when trying to select non-default Style Qualifier symbol variations.
2. Moved additional user settings to the FSLUpdate.xml file in the Utils folder to avoid User Access Control permissions issues on Windows Vista and Windows 7 PCs.
3. Added the “Ribbon” command to the FSL initial command to display the Steelcase FSL menu when user ribbon menus are turned off, or another ribbon menu is active.
4. Enhanced FSL diagnostics to capture more information and offer the user the chance to transmit the results directly to the FSL cloud site.
5. Fixed a Search dialog problem that caused the search string to have be re-entered for each new search.
6. Added Style Qualifier Description to the sorting of symbol variations in the symbol selection window.
7. Fixed the scaling issue that was broken in AutoCAD R18 software.
8. Changed the Update button to force a symbol cross-reference and hierarchy update even if the user’s last update was earlier that same day. The last update timestamp is also displayed in the Options dialog.
9. Developed a workaround for a MicroStation SELECTseries 2 issue with RealDWG components that prevented peaceful coexistence on the same PC with AutoCAD R18 software.
