When you installed Vectorworks did you install as an administrator?
Also, What MacOS version are you sing? Intel or M1?
I would recommend contacting your local tech support directly and provide them with the details and a copy of your install log file. -
If you are using an ma3 compact is should output native sACN or Artnet to Vision.
Since you are using the Vision license that came with Spotlight Service select you will be limited to using the first 2 universes.
The full paid version of Vision allows you to access unlimited universes.
Make sure you are using Vision 2022 SP3, we fixed an issue where Vision may not see the data from all network interfaces. -
Vectorworks Help contains a full list of the tools and commands that are available for each product.

Make sure you update to SP3 that was just released. We address some issues dealing with multiple network cards.
If you are able can you post the file here and we can take a look.

Vision does not have a built-in console, you must connect to a console via ArtNet, sACN etc. in order to control the lights in Vision.
The software controls in Vision only apply to conventional type fixtures attributes that do not have DMX control.- 1

The "Open From" option is only available when the soft goods is made of a single straight segment.
The 2D color is controlled from the attributes palette, the 3D color is set in the 3D options dialog.

There is not. These choices align with the options available in Lightwright.
You can add your own custom field if you would like but you can not add options to existing drop-downs.

It should work, or at least it used to.
(I haven't tested this in a long time.)
When you create the command in the plug-in manager you should add the parameter fields you need.
If the command name is "AP Make Jumper Cable Chain" then
PIORecName := 'AP Make Jumper Cable Chain';
PIORecHdl := GetObject(PIORecName);Should work.
Even if PIORecHdl returns NILL using NILL should work and access the default record since only one can exist in the document.
GetRField(NILL, PIORecName, parmeterName);
SetRField(NILL, PIORecName, parmeterName, newValue);
The better way to do it is to use Set/GetSavedSetting() if you want to settings to apply across documents, especially because the user can reset them, and Rpstr if you want them to apply to just the document.

Do you know what version the student is using and where (from which distributor) they obtained their Vectorworks license?
Some distributors outside of the US provide an educational Vectorworks license that uses a different file format that can not be used with the professional version.
It may be best to have the student contact technical support directly to identify and resolve the issue.

The text is in the Rigging-Truss-Label class. You can turn the class off and on to show and hide the text label.
-
I think the loci are in the non-plot class, if you turn the class of they should not be shown.
-
The count is not directly based on the symbol name, it's based on the Instrument Type.
-
I would start by reverting to the Spotlight default parameters to make sure you are working with the correct fields. We use the internal names of the fields to determine the universe and address fields that are sent to/from LW.
Universe and address are special fields and theses fields must be used when exchanging the data. -
Check your Pleat Width setting. If you are using a very small pleat width on a large drape it will be slow to draw and appear to hang while it draws all the pleats.
If you want a flat drape choose the simple 2D and simple 3D options.
-
FYI: If you want to get rid of the "Default Light" you should place a light and turn it off.

Which Renderworks style are you selecting? Some of the styles will remove the color.

Trial versions can only be activated once. Licensed versions can be activated on 2 machines.
You may want to contact your sales representative and inquire about getting a trial for your other machine.- 1

Please contact your local distributor and ask them about the student2pro program.
As part of the program when you purchase a professional license we convert your files to the professional version.

"Create Label Legend from Instrument" is the wrong command, you should be using Spotlight > Object Conversion > "Convert to Lighting Device".

That's a list browser not a list box.

Try editing the 2D component of the symbol directly in the resource manager.
It looks like a class visibility problem.
The preview in the Resource Manager used the class visibility when the symbol was last edited. The preview in the Edit Instrument Data uses the current class visibility.
Try turning all the classes on and see what happens. -
It looks like it's a problem with the importer in both Vectorworks and L8.
I did a quick test and the geometry for the TV is being exported as a symbol in the MVR.
The import into Vectorworks creates the symbol but it is not placed in the document.
I'm not sure how L8 handles nested symbols.
We will investigate the issue in Vectorworks.

Typically you will use Swap Panes to show different sets of controls depending on the options that are chosen in the dialog.
This will give let you place different controls in the same location.
