• If you have trouble licensing copy of software, please check your Control Panel>Add/Remove> see if there are two copies of Auditorium Maker installed. If there are two copies installed, remove both and install one.
• It is recommended you create a sketch that has an arc in the rear of the seating layout. This arc can be created by simply offsetting the inner arc.
• It works with multiple monitors, but does not remember which screen the dialogs were set to.
• May run slower when "borrowing" elements to edit. Check out worksets before using seating layout tools and modify tools for maximum performance.
• Does not support seating layouts that have seating layout arcs greater than 179 degrees. The workaround is to separate the layout into more than one piece.
