RickR Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Are you using a custom workspace? If so it's pretty easy to not have them update with the new commands. You can go to >Tools, Edit Current Workspace... and add it by drag and drop. 1 Quote Link to comment
Darion Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Great this worked!! Thank you very much. Im still a bit of a Green Horn but getting into it more and more with every drawing! Quote Link to comment
RickR Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Custom workspaces are great but add a layer of compexity for a true newbie. Afterall you don't yet know what commands you need most. Many folks prefer to stay with the default workspaces but switch between them for different kinds of tasks. Quote Link to comment
Darion Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Im understanding the workspaces fairly well at this stage. I have worked with CAD programs before so the concepts and principles all make sense. I am finally in a position career wise where i can dive deep into the vectorworks world and start improving our processes in my Department. So, that brings me to my next question... I trying to use the Export GrandMA Setup plugin.I have been following the Youtube tutorial by ACT Lighting. But the file that is exported is 0kb. and when i follow the process to load it onto MA3D, it says it was successful but zero objects loaded... I have tried over and over and played around with my numbers. Every fixture is a symbol used from spotlight. every fixture has an address and a channel assigned to it. I have looked at the video over and over and tried over and over step by step. and still it says this (Image attached) I go into setup from here and nothing has changed. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted June 25, 2018 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 25, 2018 This is a know issue on Windows. MA is aware of the problem with their plug-in. Quote Link to comment
Gabriel Chan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Maybe this link might point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment
Darion Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks @Gabriel Chan but i have the service pack 3 installed and it is still not working. We are already approaching the end of July. Is this problem ever going to be fixed? Quote Link to comment
Gabriel Chan Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 What I understand is that the plugin is something created by MA, not Vectorworks, so perhaps this is the wrong platform? Also, there is the advent of GTDF or General Type Data Format, which is still a few years before it matures into something useful, but hopefully then this VWX-->MA plugin will be a thing of the past.

Darion Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 It is quite interesting as i have spoken to MA providers and on the MA forum. And they are saying that it is a VW issue. However, they are saying it is being resolved. I just feel it is taking a really long time. Anyway, yes i have heard of GTDF. I think its a great idea!! Quote Link to comment
