SBeam Link from RAM Steel & RAM Elements broken


 Applies To 
 Product:RAM SBeam
First Affected Version:5.02 (w/ RAM SS 16, RAM Elements 15 or greater)
 Found in Version:6.00.00.33 
Released in Version:7.00.00.111
 Area: Installation, Import/Export
 Issue #(TFS):1115404

Problem Description

The link to RAM SBeam available in RAM Steel Beam (Process - Export to SBeam) and the link from RAM Elements (File - Export - RAM SBeam) do not work with CONNECT Editions. The warning indicates that SBeam is not installed .

Cannot Export
---------------------------
This features requires RAM SBeam Version 4.0 or Higher to be installed
---------------------------

The error occurs even with RAM SBeam 5.0 or 6.0 installed and working stand-alone.

Solution

Ram SBeam 6.0 can be used stand-alone, but the span and loads cannot be imported at this time. We expect this to be resolved with an updated 64 bit CONNECT Edition of SBeam, version 7.0, and updated versions of RAM Structural System and RAM Elements. 

Note, when exporting a beam to RAM SBeam the new SBeam window may appear behind the Ram Steel window, select SBeam from the task bar or minimize the RAM Steel beam module window while working in SBeam.
