Josh Schulman Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I've done this countless times but now I'm getting an error message when I try to import info from Lightwright to Spotlight (LW version 4.08, VW version 10.5.0) The message I get is Error: _541 _542 - Index outside array limits. Any Thoughts? Josh Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted May 7, 2005 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 7, 2005 Export only the fields you are using from LW. That should fix the problem. Quote Link to comment
Josh Schulman Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Its still doing it. In the "Instrument Data Import" window, I select the file by browsing for it but the drop down menu that allows you to pick out the Unique ID Field isn't letting me select it to drop down.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted May 8, 2005 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted May 8, 2005 How many fields are you exporting from LW? Are you exporting the header row? Are you filling blanks with a "-"? Are you using a LW automated action file? Quote Link to comment
Josh Schulman Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 I'm not using the automated feature, and I never needed to in the past. Even when I select only the fields that I'm using. I am making sure to include the External id and Ligtwright id. I am exporting a header row, and am filing blanks with a "-". Josh Quote Link to comment
JGoss Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Have you tried opening the .txt file in Excel or any other spreadsheet application? I often open the files in Excel just to make sure all of the data coming out of Lightwright or Vectorworks is the data that I want to be moving - and is correct. Quote Link to comment
