newbie fixture symbol question


Recommended Posts

the last time I used Vectorworks was version 2008 and so I am vastly out of the loop here. I started a new job and was handed a MAC with 2015 on it and was told here you figure it out. So my question is where the heck are all the symbols located? how do I get to them? the last time I used the software it was setup so that I had a little resource browser in the bottom of my screen that was super easy. any help would be

This should cover the very basics:



Most symbols should be available by default in 2015 after installing, however for that version you might need to go to Help > Download Content to get everything, that changed between 2014 and 2016 but I forget exactly which version.

ok thank you that made it very easy! is there a quick way to scale the symbols?

they are  importing to the document vastly oversized.

Scott, I know it's not a fresh topic, but this happens when the file units are off. If the file is metric, for example,  and you have feet/inches, then a 25cm par becomes a 25 FOOT par. You can scale the results, bit imho it's more accurate to get the units lined up at the get go
