XOP15 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi All, Does anyone have any ideas as to where I can find a pretty uniform set of symbols for VW. Over the years I have collected many symbols from all different places and I would like to get some that all look relatively the same. Any ideas gratefully received. Cheers. D Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Have you looked in the VW Resources Resource Browser>Vectorworks Libraries>Objects Entertainment>pick your maker Quote Link to comment
sig_eigei Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Mainly I use these: http://www.fieldtemplate.com/soft/softcopy.html a reasonably priced large commercial package from Steve Shelley. Quote Link to comment
C. Andrew Dunning Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I second the SoftSymbols recommendation. Though I've created the majority of what I use, that package is very well-drawn and is indespensible for those "I need XX symbol NOW!" moments. Quote Link to comment
XOP15 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks all for the tip, i have dropped Steve Shelly a mail, in the mean time does anybody have a clay paky or robe beam symbol ? Cheers, Dave. Quote Link to comment
Mickey Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hey Dave, You do know that VW Spotlight comes with a deep library of symbols? Not always the newest lights but the majority. In a Windows machine it would be here C:\Program Files\Vectorworks2010\Libraries\Objects-Entertainment I'm not sure what the Mac path would be. Both Clay Paky and Robe are in there.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted March 3, 2011 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi Dave These are under Applications/Vectorworks 20xx/Libraries/Objects-Entertainment. But I think we added these as favourites when you came for your training. So maybe you are looking for alternatives to those shipped with VW. All the best Quote Link to comment
XOP15 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi All, Thanks for your replies, yes I am looking for any alternatives as the VW2011 ones don't have a lot of new symbols. I am looking for GLP Impression 120 fixtures and a Robe or Clay Paky Beam Fixture. Tamsin, thanks for the heart, it works a treat. Thanks Again, Dave. Quote Link to comment
