In Spotlight Preferences you can set the class of the beams and then use class settings of the viewports to turn them on and off. You just have to have them turned on in the design layer so they can be drawn in in the viewport. The classes default to the same class as the lighting device so you must create a special class for them in order to have more direct control.

Make sure you run all the windows updates and use the latest Vision installer. We had issues with a clean install of Windows 10. Once we installed all the updates and ran the installer again everything worked fine.

Vision requires a capture device that supports UVC (USB Video Class) 1.1 support. Windows and OS X both ship with UVC 1.1-capable drivers built directly into the OS. While the capture card may come with proprietary drivers, they will not work with Vision. The documentation for the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle does not indicate it supports UVC but we have found this information is often hard to find. There is some additional information about supported capture devices in these forum threads: Tech Bulletin Video Capture Cards

The containers and labels are only aligned based on the insertion points. Moving the containers while editing the layout will not adjust the position of the container. Only the location of the text is tracked, the container is there fro reference only. For your layout you should make the center of the container the insertion point and use a center alignment for the text. Also try placing a new lighting device to check the default location of the labels or reassign the LL to the existing instrument. Refresh Instruments does not restore labels to the default location once they have been moved by the user.

It's back up for me. If it's still not working for you please let us know.

This is a know issue on Windows. MA is aware of the problem with their plug-in.

Also check permission on your application folder. By default the folder is "read only". Vectorworks should give you a warning that it can not modify the file but I have seen times where there is no warning given.

Unfortunately it's not a simple fix but we are working on it. Because color and gobo can be controlled by DMX we can't always send over the information from Vectorworks about the color and gobo. Vectorworks is a static renderer so we only need to know about the active color and gobo but Vision needs to now about all the colors and gobos that are available. We are working on a solution but it's not an easy problem to solve will keeping the dynamic rendering rendering required by Vision and DMX controlled fixtures.

The manual is available online and can be launched from within Vision. Select Help->Vision Help or http://app-help.vectorworks.net/2018/Vision/index.htm?#t=2018_Vision%2FVision%2FVision.htm Take a look at the Using Lighting Console Controls section of the manual. In order to achieve camera movements you will control the movements of the camera using 11 channels assigned to one of the cameras.

This is the newer list browser interface. You can click on the column headers to sort and typing will navigate you. If you want a Martin fixture simply start typing Martin and the list will scroll automatically. We plan to add a search box in the future.

It's not possible to format a database worksheet like the spreadsheet created by Generate Paperwork, which is why the command exists. You can come close but you would have to manually generate a database row for each position.

Make sure you are both using SP3. Do either of you have a customized OIP or custom fields added to the OIP? If so try exchanging a document using only the default OIP settings.

We want to grab the problem installer logs before you do a re-install. We know a re-install usually fixes the problem but we want to see if we can find out why the first install is failing so we can fix the problem. An installer log form a problem install should give us a lot of information on where the problem is or more importantly where the problem is not. Kevin

It's true. No April's Fools joke. You will see more details released about GDTF in the coming weeks.

When you contact tech support about the issue please provide them the InstallerLog from inside the Vectorworks application folder along with your system configuration. We have not been able to reproduce the issue on our machines an we need to see if something is going wrong with the installation process on specific machines.
