MThornton Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Hello, Is there a way to change to names of fixture modes attached in the lighting device record? At the moment some of the mode names are long form, I'd like to make some of these shorter. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted October 5, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 5, 2022 There is no way to change the mode names. The mode names come directly from either the mode required by Vision on the GDTF fixture mode. For GDTF files you could create a custom GDTF file with a modified mode name but most of these mode names come from manufacturer. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted October 6, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 6, 2022 If this is just for documentation purposes only you could create your own custom field for shortened fixture mode name in the Document Preferences - Spotlight Preferences 'Lighting Device Parameters'.

Cristiano Alves Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I took a symbol that already exists in the vectorworks library similar to another that is not in the library. Instead of starting a symbol/fixture again (which I don't know how to do) I wanted to modify one. I managed to change the equipment manufacturer and model and now I wanted to insert/modify the DMX Modes. That's not possible? Quote Link to comment
