David Ormsby Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've run into some wierdness - running 12.51 Spotlight and using the Field Template symbols. After importing from Lightwright, and refreshing all instruments, the Inst Type field is changing to "Light" for all fixtures, rather than (for example) Source 4 19. Before refreshing, the data shows correctly in the OIP. After Refreshing, all other data is fine except for the Inst Type field. I tried replacing the Field Template symbol with the SL version and the Inst Type shows correctly. I've double checked the Record data is correct in both. I've used the Field teplate symbols for quite a while without this problem, but it's the first plot with 12.5.1. Any Ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted January 18, 2007 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted January 18, 2007 It sound like you are mapping Device Type to Inst Type when importing from LW. Device Type should map to Device Type. Quote Link to comment
David Ormsby Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 That's where the problem lay - LW Device type was going to SL Do Not Edit, and LW Template was going to SL Device Type. Of note, I was using the "Autolink" button, which has never come up with this result before. Thanks Quote Link to comment
