If you set up a collaborative environment using a service such as Dropbox, do not work on your files while they are on the server.
I know, this is redundant, but it bears repeating. Keep the VWX, XML, and LW5 files in the same folder.Save the Vectorworks XML file in the same location as the VWX file.The Lightwright file will still be linked to Show-Data.xml.Īny changes you make in Show-LightPlot-2.vwx will not appear in your Lightwright file unless you now link the Lightwright file to the new XML file. However,the Lightwright file will still be looking at the original Show-Data.xml file. If you Save As or rename the VWX, that file will create a new XML so you may end up with Show-Data.xml (in reality Vectorworks will name this the same as your LightPlot, but with the XML file extension).That’s for good record keeping and so you can easily “see” the relationships. You need to keep your VWX, LW5, and XML files in the same folder or directory. Two work together to ensure a smooth workflow, but they are not one product, like the Vectorworks Designer Suite.This is explained again below, but as a critical point, it need emphasis. Lightwright was developed by John McKernon and not by Nemetschek Vectorworks. I discuss the relationship between Lightwright and Vectorworks at length in Entertainment Design Scenic, Lighting, and Sound, with Vectorworks Spotlight 2013.This is an important excerpt about good workflow, and avoiding Potential issues.
