![]() ![]() Not a big surprise since there were no items in the import window that aligned color from one the LW export to the Capture columns. When I go through what I changed, there are many successful items, but not all.Īddress, Channel, Purpose are fine, but all changes to Gobos and Color were not accomplished. Capture should tell you that all the fixtures were updated. When you are ready, press Import at the bottom. Since we don’t need to use everything, I’m going to show screen shots of only the things I changed. ![]() This is the reason everything will work- keeping track of this piece of data. ![]() If you remember last week, we put the Capture UID (Unique Identifier) under the LW column Vectorworks UID. Since we choose External Identifier, we need to tell Capture what column in the csv to use. We want to choose External Identifier from the pull down menu. Most important is right at the top- choosing “Identify Fixtures by:”. Navigate Capture to the csv you just exported from Lightwright, then press Open. In Capture, got to File>Import fixture data. In the final dialogue box, Lightwright will give you the option to save this as an automated action for the future. In the next window, name your file and decide where it should be saved. Leave the rest and press Export the Data in the lower right hand corner. Make sure under Export File Type that Comma Separated is selected. Keep all options selected for info to export. In Lightwright, go to File>Export Data>Data. If you don’t want to do everything, that’s fine, but try to make sure you do one of each category of change. Go ahead and make as many of these changes as you wish. I also pretended my Production Electrician updated the gobos from 579 (Capture- please add the Manufacturer identifier to these things) and pretended they didn’t have R54 and subbed it for R53. I changed the front wash from 1-10 to 201-210. I also added some more Purpose information where there wasn’t any (for the mover primarily). Go through and change some thing- whatever you wish- but make sure you don’t create overlapping dimmers with anything else in the show. Since the most common thing in the world is for me to receive updates to patch for the conventional lights, I went ahead and changed the source fours on the 1-4 electrics and booms. We are using the files from the Aerial show I’ve been using to teach basic drafting in Capture.įirst we need to change some stuff in our LW file. As usual, it’s not terribly difficult, but there are a few things to embrace and avoid. It seems reasonable that we might want to change things in LW and to update information in our Capture file. Well worth every penny.Last week, we exported from Capture into Lightwright. This piece is absolutely beautiful and the matching upper that goes with it fits perfectly with no gaps.
