in FeatureScript
Since today I get this messge when using feature script "Beam" (graphic is in german):
"This workspace uses an old version of the feature library and must be updated before the Beam feature can be used".
A new Version for "Beam" is currently not available?
Thanks for your help.
Frank

    In the meantime, I have made the following discoveries:
    After the security update from this morning (Windows 11 + Edge Browser) the described message appears.
    On a machine with Windows 10 + Edge, everything seems to work normally. The problem seems to be with Windows 11.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    It has nothing to do with your computer. How old is the document? If it is older than the last time the Beams feature was updated (Official V28, Nov 2021) and the document was somehow not upgraded, then that will be the reason. Quick fix is to use an older version of Beams. Other fix is to report a bug (from the help menu).

    The error even appears when creating a new beam. This document is only a few days old.

    Just update the Beam feature, right click on the icon.
    Version should be original V28

    It looks like you're not using the Official Beams featurescript - but someone's copy.
    @NeilCooke above referenced the Official one is at V28.


    You can install it from here: https://jps.onshape.com/documents/e15c2c668d138f01242d0c80/v/346d15aa4aa231b970b2fa9a/e/2d5660fc1012df9598f00251

    That is somebody's copy - here is the official one:

    Ok. It works again. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't realize that I didn't copy the original branch.
    Thanks for your help  :)

    Make sure you are not copying the Beams document, but simply adding it to your toolbar, then you'll get notified of any updates.
