3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
Our addin provides a tool of creating custom images, including orignal model plus additional graphics. We try to reproduce the whole picture in general as it a user sees it in Parametric's view window. In particular, we extract model tesselation and its visual properties, background colours and light sources. We use ProLightSourcesGet() function to enumerate light sources as in "Lights..." page of "Scene Editor" dialog. The issue is that ProLightInfo structure is missing a flag/field describing "Lock To" setting.

5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?
