Fixture Quantity Limit


Recommended Posts

I am working on a file that will hopefully have 116k fixtures in it.  Is this something Spotlight can do?  And will the data exchange support that sort of quantity?  I have about 15k fixtures drawn right now and the xml file went bad.  And so I have turned off the Lightwright data exchange and turned it back on and it is attempting to export to the xml file (which had been deleted when it was turned off) and it is taking forever.  Right now I am at about 45 minutes of it trying to process it.  Thanks in advance.

I have never tried with that many fixtures in either Vectorworks or Lightwright.
We regularly test with about 5k fixtures.
15k is a lot of data if you use the default settings, You can try only exchanging the necessary fields with Lightwright and see if that improves performance.
By default 15k fixtures is over 300k entries being exchanged between Vectorworks and Lightwright.
I can see some potential problems if you get close to 65k fixtures.
