J. Miller Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Is there an easy way to convert my existing v12 lighting symbols to 2008. I have done a lot of tweaking to the existing symbols (line weights, colors, text sizes, etc). I'd like to keep these graphical edits in 2008 but I want to use the 2008 version of the "Light Info Record" for its new capabilities (Shutter Cuts, Beam Rotation, etc).I guess i could write a script but am trying to avoid that right now. Any suggestion? Thanks in Advance Jeff Miller Quote Link to comment
Greg_at_ils Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I would like to know the answer to this too. What is the difference between the Light Info Record" in v12 and 2008? Can we just add some new fields and make the symbols compliant? Quote Link to comment

MrTemplate Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi folks; i just completed converting SoftSymbols from vw12 to vw08. as i understand it, the difference in the light info record between the two is the addition of three new data panes; a second "beam" pane, a second "field" pane, and a "num channel" pane. if you're not rendering or showing beams you need not be concerned. if you are attempting either of those tasks with a circular cone of light, you need not be concerned. if you're rendering or showing beam of elliptical light (par) then you need to re-enter beam & field info, one b&f for each axis. the "num channel" is to list number of channels for multiple-channel devices (movers, mixers) in the future. hth, shelley Quote Link to comment
