I am using MA2 onPC and cannot switch to MA3, as I'll be moving the show to an MA2 console eventually. As far as I'm aware, MVR is not an option for import with MA2. I will update my Vectorworks and attempt to switch to Vision. I have a Vision license key, will I need a dongle as well in order to use it with MA onPC?

Hello, Working on setting up previz for my rig - I'm using MA onPC v3.9, MA3D v3.9, Vectorworks 2021. I am attempting to export an XML of my lighting rig via the MA Spotlight plugin (I have the most recent version). When looking at this XML file, the positions for each fixture are there, but I can't tell if the fixture models are included in this XML file. When I import this XML file to MA onPC, the patch and fixture types work perfectly, but the fixture is positioned at the origin and has question marks instead of a model. This only happens with certain fixture types - the fixture types that actually display the proper model (instead of question marks) are positioned correctly. In MA3D, the question mark fixtures are composed of sub fixtures, while the fixtures that are not subdivided are displaying properly. I think this may be an issue with VW export of the models, as the fixtures that are not displaying properly are SEVEN battens, JDC1s, and other matrix/blinder/batten fixtures and I think Vectorworks is exporting these as multiple sub-fixtures. Is there another/better way to move my rig from Vectorworks into MA onPC/MA3D using an MVR file or anything besides this Vectorworks XML export? Is it possible to remedy the way that these fixtures are exported from Vectorworks so that they are a single fixture and not a collection of sub-fixtures?

@bbudzon it has been 3 months (ish?) and I still have not received a license key for vision after filling out the form on the Vectorworks site (the same issue as @NoahAAA) The email said "enjoy your copy of vision" and the installer file but no license key. Is there any update as to when this issue will be resolved?
