  1. If this is the Top/Plan view, It  looks like those fixtures were created using a different different symbol. Select the symbol in the Resource Manager and edit the 2D component. I expect you will see the same image.
    You can either edit the 2D component and draw the representation you want or replace the lighting device symbol with one more to your liking.

  2. This video will give you a brief overview of the Cable and Power Planning Enhancements made in Vectorworks 2023.

    We show faster cable configuration, planning, and documentation with the latest upgrades. New views in the Power Planning palette will allow easier selection, preparation, formatting, and documentation of cable runs. Specialized filter options and modes make cable management more user-friendly. Finally, updates to the cable path now report all associated cables to a Data Tag, making documentation easier.

    Here is the Cable Tools tutorial from 2022.

    Some functions have be updated since publishing this course.

  3. The Spotlight numbering tool numbers the cells in the same order they appear in the OIP. This is determined by the stacking order of the cells inside of the symbol.
    If your cells are not numbering in the correct order edit the symbol, overlap the cells slightly so you can see the stacking order and then use send forward  or send backward to get them in the correct order then align them again.
    If you are using one of the symbols shipped with Vectorworks please let us know which symbol so we can correct it for everyone.

  4. We are in the process of building a highly integrated power planning solution for Vectorworks Spotlight. The solution we envision will make use of the data contained in lighting devices, cables, and other Vectorworks objects.

    For version 2023, cables have been upgraded, and power-based parameters have been added to many other objects. We feel the cable and object functionality available in the Power Planning palette already adds a lot of value and is very useful for viewing and designing your project.

    Please be aware that more analysis and reporting are still in progress. Looking at our interface, you can get a sense for where we are taking this feature. Please join the discussion if you would like to ask questions, make suggestions, or provide feedback.

  5. The Fixture Mode can not be custom, it has to be a valid choice from the list of available fixtures. It is needed to send the proper information to Vision.
    When the fixture mode is any value other then "None" the DMX footprint is disabled and obtained from the fixture mode data.
     

  6. It's an option in the label legend manager. When this option is selected you will not be able to place the individual labels around the symbol, the labels selected will appear formatted more as a table that are moved as a single block of text with the filed name and value listed.

  7. By the request of many other users Data Vis is explicitly excluded for the label legend because there is not way to apply Data Viz just the the label legend.

    Without the exclusion of the Label Legend, Data Vis would be applied to the fixture and all labels in the label legend.
