Accessories using Symbol Name

[J. Miller]

Hello,

I am finally experimenting with the use of accessories in VW

LW is reading the symbol name and not the Instrument type when bringing accessory information into LW

Is this a default or is the import to LW misbehaving?

LW5 Ver 5.0.29 Build 406

VW 2012 SP2

Thanks in Advance

What does LW stand for?

Hi Carl.

LW =: Lightwright.

Means Lighting Design converted to Excel-like sheets.

I just can't stand it.

If you tour in US, Its almost impossible to avoid running into it.

Lightwright stores very limited information about static accessories. The one piece of data that is critical to Vectorworks for an accessory is the symbol name since that's the graphical representation on the document do that is what is stored by LW.

There is no way to change this.
