A.D.K. Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Posted this in entertainment, but since it's absolutely catastrophic I thought I'd make sure it's here. Vectorworks 2021 completely breaks data exchange if there are any copied/duplicated fixtures. Do we have an eta on fix? Quote Link to comment
0 Guest Yordan Kostadinov Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hi @A.D.K., You can expect this fixed in the upcoming SP1. Best regards, Yordan Kostadinov Quote Link to comment
0 A.D.K. Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hi all, Thanks for the SP fix, but it still seems a bit borked. Am I the only one having trouble still? Quote Link to comment
0 Guest Yordan Kostadinov Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hi @A.D.K., I'm afraid files created in SP0 are still corrupted. I cannot think of another way to fix it, but the attached script. Close Lightwright, download the file and run the script from the menu in Tools->Plug-ins. Perform complete export and the issue should be resolved. Let me know if you still have this problem. Best regards, Yordan Kostadinov ClearLWIDs.vs Quote Link to comment
0 Coby Beck Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hi @Yordan Kostadinov I ran the script but still ran into the duplication issue. My file was created in VWX2021 SP1 however. Any suggestions that might fix the duplication issue and enable successful data exchange would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted November 2, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 2, 2020 @Coby Beck The problem with your file is a little different. None of your accessories have the Light Info Record and this gives all of them a blank filed for the Device Type. Vectorworks sends all of these over to LW as as regular accessories (rather then static accessories) so they get their own row in LW. Because the accessories don't have a device type VW gets a little confused when the data comes back from LW without a device type. I sent you a direct message with the details and hopefully a filed file. Quote Link to comment
0 Cory Pattak Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 FYI...this still appears to be very broken in SP2 (574483). Working on preparing a bug report to file with details. Cory 1 Quote Link to comment
