Can bit bridged plugins be used in multi dock?

Hi, I'm running X1d expanded 64 bit.
I set up another monitor to just use for analysis plugins Span and Smexoscope which is 32 bit only http://bram.smartelectronix.com/plugins.php?id=4. Problem is it won't dock and if I drag it to the other monitor and save as a screen set, when I open Sonar or change screen sets it returns to the top left corner of the main monitor.
Any idea's anyone?

Cheers
Steve.

    Not that I'm aware of.  Pretty sure that only x64 bit plugins will drop into multidock.

    It's unfortunately not free, but Blue Cat has an x64 version of Oscilloscope Multi.  It can be demoed and if you like it it's $49 US I believe.

    You can't dock bitbridged plugs but you can jbridged plugs although you need to force a GUI redraw on some of them (It's in jbridge's settings).

    Screensets won't solve the issue, they'll always appear on your main monitor. I'm beginning to suspect that bitbridged plugs slow down screenset changes if they are present. Anyone else noticing that?

    Right me if I'm wrong but this is how I understand it:
    Bitbridge plugins can't be docked into multidock since they are separate
    processes and not truly "one with Sonar".

    They talked a bit about this during the NAMM Live session.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTysXLBiYqY
    ..Around 9:13.

    I'm guessing this is the reason why screensets might get a bit slower 
    with bitbridge as well.. More processes to handle

    Shift-clicking to Open bitbridged Plugin uis remembers the window Position it was closed. May be this applies using screensets, too?

    I'd like to have the ui window position of bitbridged Plugins rememberd with normal opening...

    Thanks for the great advice, I've kind of got around the problem for now by putting the desktop on the second monitor then dragging Sonar over to my main one.
    Then when I open bit bridged plugs they open on my second monitor with the desktop on it.
    Also once I dragged Sonar over it opens there all the time.

    Cheers
    Steve.

    Just to clarify...
    Can bitbrige multidock 32bit plugs with a Sonar X3e 32bit insulation?
    Or is it that regardless of sonar being 32bit or 64bit, 32bit plugs wont doc?
    In which case I'll need to install jBridge... Thanks

    jBridge allows this function with 32 bit plug-ins and the multi-dock, it's not free but it doesn't cost a lot.

    Thanks emwhy... 
    It was clarification that [<font]a Sonar X3e “32bit” insulation, would or not allow 32bit plus to multidoc that I was asking.

    It is possible to dock the VST header of a BitBridge wrapped plug-in. To do so, hold the SHIFT key when opening the plug-in UI. Usually the VST header will open behind the plug-in UI. This header may be docked and has button to open the plug-in UI.

    Does bit-bridge even come into the equation with a 32-bit install?

    No, BitBridge is part of the 64bit install only.
