Can't Find Spotlight Libraries in 2017

[Benjamin Weill]

HI All,

I've downloaded all the additional content for 2017, but I can't find the Spotlight Lighting Symbols anywhere. I have all the other "Objects - Entertainment" folders except for "Lighting." 

I've even tried "browsing a document" instead of going through the resource browser, and still nothing.

Any thoughts?

For some strange reason, lighting fixtures are in the Object Styles folder.

THANKS!  I found them.  That seems like a bizarre place for them.....

 

Thanks

Thats odd considering those objects dont have a Style... perhaps this is preparation for this functionality to be included? I will check as I'm sure others will come across this.

Also remember as of '16 you can find fixtures via the Lighting Instrument tool.

There's lot of companies missing in the lighting library.....  

..Clay paky, ETC, Robe, Martin, Chauvet pro. DO i have to import them all from vw2016?

I am not sure why these do not appear as subfolders in the navigation tree. For instance, if you do a search for All Resources for "ETC Source" or "paky" and you will see them as expected.

Ok thanks.

I tried the migration tool, it doesn't recognize the folder object-lighting from vw2016.

You can do it manually with File > Batch Convert, target the desired folders, set their converted location, run the conversion and then relaunch Vectorworks.

did you download the lighting symbol libraries from the service select download manager?

 

It's under Help->Download Content
