scottmoore Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Try importing from 2019? Quote Link to comment
Ron Wilson Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Here is the real issue: I have ColorSource 15/30 degree Zoom and ColorSource 25/50 degree Zoom Fixtures in my plot and used the symbol from the Resource Manager for these two fixtures. When I open the Object Info Pallet the Fixture Mode is listed as None. Going into the Fixture Mode drop down and clicking on Other brings me to a list where under ETC neither the 15/30 nor the 25/50 degree ColorSource Zoom are listed. When I send the file to Vision the Zoom Instruments appear but do absolutely nothing. Any suggestions out there??? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted April 13, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 13, 2020 If the fixtures are not shown in the Fixture Mode dialog then they have not been created for Vision yet. You can submit a Vision fixture request by clicking the fixture request ling at the to of the Vision page to have it added. Quote Link to comment
scottmoore Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Did you try importing your 2019 symbols into a 2020 file? Quote Link to comment
Ron Wilson Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Browsing through the various threads in the forum I have not been able to find a way to import symbols from 2019. I have sent a Fixture Request to Vision. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Open a 2019 File in 2020 and it should automatically convert and then you can use the symbols. Quote Link to comment
scottmoore Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Thanks Pat. I should have clarified further. Quote Link to comment
Ron Wilson Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 I opened a file from VW 2018 in VW 2020 but that theater had only conventional instruments. When I opened the Resource manager it was the 2020 file so no help there. I have sent a fixture request to Vision and we shall see what happens. Thanks to all for your responses.
