Eric Chenault Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 When a SPOTLIGHT drawing is exported to DWG format all of the instruments become individual symbols. (ie, 5 different Altman 6x12s are exported as five different symbols with the name of the block 1022.1.1.0.0 etc. as opposed to Alt 6x12). Obviously this maintains the "look" of the drawing as all the label legend information becomes part of each light as an individual. However, this is a huge problem in moving a show to an AutoCAD user or WYSIWYG programmer because each instance of a 6x9 has to be reassociated as a 6x9. In the future can there be a way to convert a SPOTLIGHT drawing back into a regular VW drawing so that all 6x12s keep their original symbol names (Alt 6x12) before exporting to DWG?

This is on the wishlist for future consideration. I'll add your vote to the pile. ;-) Quote Link to comment
