Hey!

Any new about this? Facing exact same issue, can't solve it.

[Line Thickness on PDF Export]

If your design layers are at 1:50 and your output is at 1:50 then you should see the same lineweights in the Viewport. If the "printed" output is different from what you are seeing on the screen, make sure that you have Zoom Lineweights toggled ON (Vwx Preferences or Mode bar quick preferences button). That way you will see on the screenwhat you are going to get in the printed output.

The images I post are from a document using the scales you mention and with the Zoom Line Weights toggled OFF (means no big lines each time you zoom in, which is the default configuration). If I do not modify the Line Weight Scale (leaving default = 1), I will always get the Line Weight showed in the third picture.

If you are not happy with the lineweights then it would be better to change them on the design layer using Classes etc.

 

 Line Thickness on classes are set between 0,03 and 0,04 so this shouldn't be a problem.

The Scale Linewights options are a quick way to scale up or down all Page based items like lineweights in a viewport, and are primarily designed to be used when you are scaling from say a 1:50 design layer to a 1:100 Sheet Layer Viewport. In this instance you would probably put a scale value of 0.5.

Feeling this is the only way to have a decent output...

What scale do you use on your design layers and what scale to you normally set on your sheet layer viewports?

 

For design layers, I use 1:50. My viewports containing lighting instruments go from 1:50 to 1:80. I try no to go higher than this otherwise my label legends go really small and are unreadable on ISO A3 (I always print on this page size)
Sometimes I use 1:100 or higher (1:200, 300, etc) for viewports used like "maps" showing big areas of the stage or venue.

Hi

Since the first launch of VW 2019, I've been facing problems with the line thickness when exporting my sheet layers to PDF. I looked for some posts about this topic but never arrived at a concrete solution.

 

I discovered that when I change the "Line Weight Scale" on the advanced options panel of my viewports I no longer have the thickness issue on my sheets, you can compare it with the images below.

 

I want to know if there's any way to configure this value but as a document preference instead of going viewport by viewport. I found something similar on the Document Preference window but with design layers (also image attached below). In fact, I took the value criteria from here to modify my VPS line weight scale and worked perfectly.

Probably late, but also would love to see a webinar about this topic.

You need to assign focus points to the lighting devices. The focus points should be on a seperate design layer to the lighting devices and not be included in the DLVP.

 

One thing to take into account:

 

I first put the focus point (in this case I used two) referenced to the original design, this way doesn't work. You must put the focus as if you were focusing the "DLVP Fixtures"

Works perfect, thanks!

Hey

 

New using DLVP, seems to be a great tool but I'm facing the same problem Sebastian posted about the 3D orientation of my fixtures. 

 

I go through this steps:

1. Draw my design on top/plan view with lights (position field filled) and trusses (converted to hanging position)

2. I run "Create Plot and Model View"

3. I get my DLVP, I rotate it to obtain the desire result: in this particularly case its a +90º rotation to see my "ex" top/plan design vertically in a new front view.

4. When I get the viewports I do the +90º rotation, trusses are okay but fixtures get a random 3D orientation.

 

PS: I try including Z Rotation on them also, but it doesn't solve the problem

Hey Edward, thanks for answering.

 

I'm doing step by step an Arnet connection between Vision (running in Mac) and grandMA2 Light. The problem is that when I plug it in the second Arnet slot on my console, Vision crashes and quits instantly. Doesn't happen with the first slot (which is MA-net)

This is happening with the SP2 version. Do I've to delete any kind of cache folder? Maybe is that!

Is there any post explaining how to connect Vision 2018 - GrandMA2?
