PlaidLeaf Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 i made the plot for the show i am working on, exported the instrument data to excel. i have made updates in excel but i can't seem to figure out how to update the plot from the excel paperwork. anybody have any answers? if not... then is there a way to take the excel spreadsheet and put it into Lightwright 4 and not have the data get all corrupted? i know how to update from a lightwright file... it's just that my LD doesn't have a copy of lightwright and i don't have a way of giving him a copy... any imput would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

All balanks enpty fields must contain a - (dash) Excel adds extra quotes, so things like 6" Fres are exported as "6"" Fres". So many istruments will trun into rectangles. Quote Link to comment
