[Set fixtures to 50/50 "home" position, without focus point?]

Cool, I'll look forward to that once I get around to upgrading OSX and installing 2016.

[Set fixtures to 50/50 "home" position, without focus point?]

Hi folks,

Is it possible to set fixtures to always show as pointing straight down, rather than the default 30-40 degrees' tilt?

I'd rather not edit each 3D symbol, or have to drop in a focus point per fixture.

...am I missing something obvious?

[Leroy Bennett - beautiful plots without rendering.]

Leroy Bennett's plots for the Janet Jackson tour are stunning as you'd expect, but what I'm stuck on is how to get my plot views looking half that good.

I've been messing around with settings all night and I can't even get close.

What am I missing?

[How to export "flat" PDFs (instead of layered)]

Hi folks,

When I export PDFs, and then open them in OSX Preview, it takes almost a minute to open the file and the same if I ever want to move around the page, as every movement seems to require Preview to re-draw every layer of the drawing separately.

What's odd about this is that I definitely have the "export layers" options turned OFF.

I'm using VW2013 on a brand-new Macbook 15" Retina, so it's not likely a question of my machine being too slow for the software.

What am I doing wrong here? I just want to be able to export to a flat, non-layered PDF, while keeping my resolution around 300dpi.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
