SetRField and Lighting devices

[t-bud]

I have some scripts that place data into Lighting Device Parameter Fields.  

 

WIth VW2020 SP2.1, the changes do not seem to be written into the .XML for export into Lightwright.  I have to do a complete export for the updated information to be sent to LW.  

 

I did not notice this behavior in VW2019.  Is there a function that I need to call now for VW to register the changed data for inclusion in the .XML?

I don’t think any behavior would be different for 2020 here — there is no reason that changing a field via script would trigger a field export. 
 

You can try simply resetting the object (ResetObj), but you may have to explicitly export: http://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php/VS:SL_Export

Thanks J,

 

ResetObject() does the trick.  

Is there documentation anywhere that you know of, that describes the Export Type options of the SL_Export Procedure?

Not that I know of, though I'm guessing the options are probably full and regular export, so 0 and 1 or 1 and 2.
