[VW SPOTLIGHT 2018 & VISION 2018 Major Issue's]

Hi all, over the weekend I have been getting a lot of problems with the upgrade to Vw18 also the Vision package 2018. 

Vectorworks Spotlight with a computer spec that I have I would of thought it would run perfect. But totally the opposite 

Its very slow on a lot of levels and when I push to Vision it crashes. 

I did a full stress test and benchmark test and it passed with flying colours so I am guessing its somewhere with the software.

I have made a list of problems below to try and help

 

 I am unsure of how to fix and I have a lot of shows to get done in the next few weeks. 

Hopefully it a quick fix !!

 

 

1. When starting Vectorworks not sure if this is normal but it takes around 4min to load a file. Even just opening VW it. Takes just as long.

 

2.Push to Vision crashes (so spotlight just locks up & vision just goes to a big white screen.

 

3. Insert Tool doesn’t seem to work

 

4. Having to restart spotlight ( after drawing fixtures in top plan view & then going to 3d view some fixtures disappear

 

5. Align tool crashes the Vw

 

6.when I go to open GL the screen goes black for 1-2min

 

7. Rendering to Dash Hidden Line Crashes Vw

 

8. The build lamp list takes for ever to load but also not adding up right

[How to get media server into Vision]

Hello I am a newbie to Vision only a few days into it. I already have a large show that requires me to have a media inputs to the pre-vis. I don't see to much info

on this but i was told Vision can support it. So question 1, how do you config the screens / led walls 2, how to get input to Vision via my media server. Can it be via CITP. Also after reading some of the posts regarding the video inputs to vision i hope it gets fixed really quick or i also have just spent a lot of $$ for not able to 

Pre-Vis a major part of programming shows.

[Vision - FAQ]

Thanks for the info I am new to Vision and I am trying to find info on how to manage and make work video walls in the pre-vis. 

I use a media server as well but unsure of how to get the video input into Vision. Also how can I have more that 1 video input. 

 

Thanks for your time and look forward to hear from you.

That would be me.  I have an update on the list, but have fallen behind because of other critical things.

Hey Rob that's great I didn't have to go looking too far. Re the symbols I have a large show in a few months with a 135 units. Is there any time frame that I could work in for you to do the updates. 

Thanks again

Anthony.
