  1. Hi @JustinVH

     

    Do you have a solution to make the attached file work? I want to keep the 2D part on the top plate, so i've made a duplicate with the correct magnet and cross section info (I think), but it doesn't auto connect.

     

    When adding the truss to the top plate, it worked, but when adding the plate to the truss it won't connect.

     

    Please advice.Snapping top plate.vwx

  2. Hello users,

     

    On all my moving lights in our personal library, i've added brackets to all fixtures. The bracket accessory is a separate accessory symbol including a parts and info record.

     

    So for this example, the bracket symbol is as followed (z height is based on a 50mm tube):

    And it's added to the fixture as followed (not double clicked, but drag an drop):

    As you can see, the connecting point of the bracket has a different height than the bounding box of the fixture. This results in a wrong inserting of the complete symbol when adding the fixture to the drawing. I had this issue also in 2021.

    When just using the add accessory tool, it does the same (of course).

     

    Does somebody has a workaround to fix this? It would be helpful if it should listen to a loci point for example.

     

  3. Hello Vectors,

     

    Recently I had a file where I wanted to overrule the class settings because no symbols were set by the class. At that point, I tried clicking the checkbox hoping that all classes were set "by class". Unfortunately nothing happens.

    Now I'm currently working with an other file where I did the same thing, and yes, I finally had the popup I needed.

    Can someone explain to me when and when you don't get this popup?

     

     

  4. Hi Andrew,

     

    Thanks for the quick reply.

     

    My post was focused on the secondary bumper. I also thought of the workaround, but in the case like my example, that won't work. If you are using a main bumper and 3 speaker types, you will need a fourth speaker type for the underhang bumper. The secondary bumper would be a very nice extra feature in the tool.

  5. Hi All,

     

    When using the speaker tool, you can only add one main bumper within the speaker array tool. It's kind of weird that you are able to use three speaker types with no bumper between them. For example, a configuration with a 4 x K1-SB, 16 x K1, and 4 x K2 underhang. The K1 and K2 connection officially needs a underhang bumper.

     

    Would be nice to see this feature in the new service pack or the software release.

  6. @JustinVH Well... that's making sense... thanks for the quick help!

     

    We made a copy of the VWX library (prolyte / eurotruss / interall) 2 years ago and implement this in our workgroup for the whole company (16 licences). We did made some adjustments to line weight, copy full library in a black version, classes etc. Never looked at the connection types, but it's clear that we have to adjust this. We're also not using any coupler sections except on spacers, specific tube parts and base plates.

     

    Connection type neutral on all situations will work the best. I tested it with truss and plates.

     

    I have some work to do... Thanks!

  7. Hello,

     

    I'm trying to make a Prolyte H30V top plate 30x30cm. I already made a base version, and that works fine. Now i'm trying to make a upside down version which not work properly. When trying to connect to the truss, the plate automaticly rotates with the pins facing up. I was already playing with starting / endpoints but unfortunately it doesn't work out.

     

    Has anybody a solution or experiences on this subject?

  8. @scottmoore hi scott,well this is were i’m know working on.. problem with an own invetory is that if VWX something changes on the plugin or symbols in there yearly update, you can start over.. but for know I have my own workgroup with duplicates of the VWX symbols in the correct classes (including prefix), correct line weight, correct name, and correct color. 

  9. @Sam Jones  Thank you for your reply, but Autoplot is not an option, because we just want to make use of all spotlight symbols.

     

    About the black truss, it's not only for technical drawings, but also for visualization, worksheets etc... We just want to select a black symbol or replace it with a silver one if needed.

     

    We already make our own adjustments to our symbols (duplicates of the VWX ones). Funny that you talk about a script that's making the adjustments for us, we also thinking about something like that, but time is really an issue.. 

  10. @scottmoore Making double truss symbols (silver and black) is something we do for years in our own workgroup. The reason that we copy the library of VWX is that we can assign our own classes with a prefix, copy our truss so we can make a black version aswell, and put de line types to 0.10 so you can see something on your drawing. 

     

    Because of all this extra handling to make it work, it’s a lot of work to copy your whole library, adjust all names, record and color. So that’s why I think a black option in the OIP / plugin script that Will change the record to black instead of silver and fill the truss-truss class to black will / can work
