Finally, Select Scripts->Draw->Animated Strokes. Play back the resulting animation, and you'll see your strokes play back animated. ... Wow ! ...

Works fine here, Matt, so this particular problem was solved.
Maybe you should open a support ticket.

Well, I didn' t get a reply from SmithMicro yet, so I am not sure if they have seen my ticket yet, but you can try sending one in of course...

It' s still woking BTW !
