chstech Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 On occasion I will receive a plot with groups of polygons instead of the lighting instruments in Spotlight. Is there a quick way to change these groups to instruments that Spotlight will recognize for Import & Export purposes, (Lightwright)?? Most of the items are Lekos. Things like Inst. #, Chan, Clr/Gobo are text manually entered. Thanks Quote Link to comment

If the objects in the drawing were symbols then Spotlight could do part of the work for you. Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted February 17, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 17, 2004 Basicly you would have to re-create the plot. Take the group and convert it to a symbol. Then use either the convert to instrument menu command or the instrument insertion tool to get the instruments onto the plot. You can enter that data in VW or export the instruments at this point and enter the data in LW. Quote Link to comment
