Multiple Dimmers Per Channel - Spotlight


XRobles

Recommended Posts

I'm having an issue in spotlight where I need to attach multiple dimmers to a specific channel. I typically patch my house lights all under a single channel for ease, and it requires patching several dimmers to that single channel. I cannot find a solution for vectorworks to show this information (defaults back to the first entry) when using an instrument symbol to represent my house lights on the plot. Currently using v2017

You should use a house light symbol for each dimmer and then assign each house light to the same channel.

Wat you are really doing is assigning the same channel to multiple dimmers that same way you would do it in a console.

Typically when I draw a venue I will place the houselights in the correct location and assign them to the proper dimmers, circuits and channels.

This way if I change my mind and need to have more control I don't have to go back and figure out how the lights divide out.
