Craig Stelzenmuller Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 When you export a drawing with spotlight symbols from v2021 (SP3) to v2020, all the spotlight symbols are duplicated in place in the exported v2020 file. This seems like a bug. Is this happening to anyone else? 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted June 28, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hi Craig, I have just tried this in 2020 and I can replicate the issue, I can report this as a bug. However, during testing, to rule out Lightwright sync issues I checked the Live Sync in the preferences and interestingly the lighting devices did not duplicate, presumably this was because it cross referenced the XML file on open. (You won't need light wright to do this). So this would be a suitable workaround for now and I will get it reported asap. best wishes 1 Quote Link to comment

Aidan Marshall Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi, also having this issue on 2021 SP4, could you point me in the direction of the "live sync" preference? I can't find it documented anywhere Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted August 9, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 9, 2021 File - Document Settings - Spotlight Preferences Then open the 2018 version, save then close it down. Or send the 2018 file and XML file to the user with the instructions. Quote Link to comment
jacobjz Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Has this been resolved? I'm still seeing duplicate lights on V2020 export files sent to me from VW2021. 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee TomWhiteLight Posted December 11, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 11, 2021 There was a service pack release for 2021, can you ensure that the user is running the latest sp for 2021? If they are and it is still occurring let me know here and I will escalate. 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted December 13, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted December 13, 2021 Please make sure you are updated to Vectorworks 2021 SP5. There were export issues fixed with SP5. 2 Quote Link to comment
Aidan Marshall Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I am no longer seeing this issue on v2021 sp5, or v2022 sp2. 2 Quote Link to comment
