No, but I uninstalled Dimension completely and tried the 64-bit path again. Didn't work.

Thank you, this is by far the most helpful community I ever came across. I hope I can give something back one day :) (...and did the clean install aswell ;)) As far as I can see, dimension is working in 64bit.

Is there a way to check if the plug in is running in 64bit or using bitbridge?




If the plug-in is loaded in one of the bins (for example the Track FX Bin) or in the synth rack
open the plug-in's GUI (its plug-in property page) 

more info can be found in Sonar's Help

Yes, the header is one way. In 64bit versions of SONAR, all 32bit VST plug-ins have (32-bit) appended to their name in the menus and browser. In the X3 browser the 32bit plug-ins names are green.
 
BTW, to get the standard VST header for a 32bit plug-in hold the SHIFT key while opening the UI. The header in addition to providing certain useful functions can be docked where the 32bit plug-in UI cannot.

Only if using the "Default All Plug-ins" menu layout...

 
As shown below if you use a custom plug-in layout menu you loose the "(32 bit)" type ID, only the color is changed unless you use *MenuMagic or other 3rd party tool.

With custom plug-in menus...
