For GDTF you can also uncheck the "Use GDTF Geometry" option in the OIP to use the default Vectorwork geometry.

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.- 1

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.
Cable Tools Suite
Some functions have be updated since publishing this course.- 1

Yes, you need Spotlight or Design Suite to access the Video Screen tools.
Vectorworks help contains a full list of the commands contained in each product.
https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2022/eng/assets/docs/Commands_Tools2022.pdf -
If you are using GDTF files you can use the GDTF fixture editor to modify the GDTF file and change the mode name.
Fixture Mode names for Vision are not modifiable. -
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.- 1

@Ciro Are you using Mac or Windows? If you are using Mac please make sure to update to the latest service pack of Vision 2022.
We fixed some network connection issues on the Mac in the latest service packs.
We also recommend you use independent artnet viewer software on the machine running Vision to verify that the machine is receiving the artnet signal. -

Open new blank file. import layer + objects from
@mjm I need some more details for the bug report. How did you import into the blank file? Copy/Paste, workgroup referencing?

Can you post the fie or submit the file to tech support so that we can investigate.

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.

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.

What version of Vectorworks are you using?
Try testing using a new blank file (do not start from a template file) with just one lighting device. -
The resource selector is done strictly using the folder structure, it does not filter external files by looking at the record.
I took a quick look and the resource selector is not currently available as an item you can add to the tool bar in a Vectorscript tool.
All the examples shown are from SDK tools.- 1

@Sam Jones I'd have to look at the code but the record probably does not exist in a new blank file, you probably have to do something related to the lighting device before the record is created.

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.

Voltage:120

This is not possible with the standard label legend, You would need to use the "Single Label" option. The traditional standard label option used the color, container shape or location to imply the label.
-
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.

YES!
Coping any resource from a student file would contaminate your commercial file with watermarks.
You will be warned when this happens.
-
@zoomer This is an option we leave up to Vectorworks distributors to customize the student version to their market.
In the US the professional version can open student files created with the US student version. The resources in the file are all watermarked and any printing will be watermarked.
-
-
Any file that is saved by a student version becomes watermarked as a student version, that includes any libraries you create or modify.
As part of the Student2Pro program offered by many Vectorworks distributors the watermarks can be removed when you graduate and upgrade to a professional license.

@marveln22 Is this a question about Vision or Vectorworks.
Mirror type surfaces are not supported in Vision.If the question is about Vectorworks let me know and I will move this post to a more relevant forum.

I opened the file in Vectorworks 2022 and had no issue assigning a label legend.
-
When there is no GDTF assigned to the fixture, Vectorworks exports a generic placeholder using default info. In order to have the fixture exported with the proper GDTF you have to assign a GDTF file to the fixture. Vectorworks currently does not do this automatically.
